Press the
q
button on the camera-recorder or the
VAR SEARCH button on the remote control unit
while the tape is playing back.
“1×” appears on the viewfinder and LCD monitor,
and the tape is played back at the normal speed.
No sound is heard at this time.
2
Turn the multi dial.
When the multi dial is turned, the playback speed
changes in the sequence of 1/5× (or 1/3× in the LP
mode), 1×, 2×, 5×, 10× and 20× the normal tape
speed.
The tape is played back in the forward direction
when the dial is turned upward and in the reverse
direction when it is turned downward.

Press the
q
button to return to normal playback.
If, in the VCR mode, you press the USER button
to which you have allocated the BLANK SEARCH func-
tion, the end of the last scene shot (a blank part of the
tape) is found, and a still picture of the frame that is
about a second ahead of the end of the last scene is
displayed.
•
If there are no unrecorded blanks, the tape will stop
at the end of the tape.
•
If shooting is started immediately after an unrecorded
blank has been found, the scene will be recorded
with frame-to-frame continuity following on from the
last frame.
•
You cannot allocate functions to USER 3.
