Search dial
Rotate to search for edit points. Rotate the dial
clockwise for forward playback (the
z indicator lights
up) or counterclockwise for reverse playback (the
Z
indicator lights up). The p indicator lights up while
the VTR is in stop mode.
Press the dial to toggle the VTR between shuttle and
jog modes.
Shuttle mode: The playback speed corresponds to
the angle of rotation of the dial (–50 to +50 times
normal speed when playing back a Digital
Betacam tape, and –35 to +35 (DVW-A500/1
only) or –42 to +42 (DVW-A500P/1 only) times
normal speed when playing back an analog
Betacam tape). The dial clicks at the positions
corresponding to 0 (still-picture), –10 and +10
times normal playback speed.
Jog mode: The playback speed, which corresponds
to the rotational speed of the dial, ranges from –1
to +1 or –3 to +3 times normal playback speed
(selectable in VTR SETUP menu). The dial does
not click.
Variable speed playback mode: Noiseless playback
at –1 times normal speed when the dial is rotated
fully counterclockwise, and +3 times normal
speed when rotated clockwise. The dial clicks at
the positions of still-picture and normal playback
speed.
Capstan override mode: Rotating the dial while
holding down the PLAY button changes the
playback speed by up to ±15%.
After turning the power on, always set the search dial
at the center position (where the
p indicator lights up).
