This video recorder will allow you to rapidly wind a tape forwards or backwards,
search a cassette tape, view individual frames on a tape, and play back a tape in slow
motion.
Fast forward (FF)
Pressing the fast forward (“ FF ”) button with the tape on stop, will rapidly wind the
tape forward. “FF” will appear for a few seconds on the TV screen.
Rewind (REW)
Pressing the rewind (“ REW ”) button with the tape on stop, will rapidly wind the tape
backwards. “ REW ” will appear for a few seconds on the TV screen.
LOGIC search
If you hold down either of the search buttons (“ REW ” or “ FF ”) during fast forwarding
or rewinding the tape, the picture will be seen at about 7 times (NTSC recorded tape:
5 times) the normal playback speed. This enables you to see where you are on the
tape. When you release the button the video recorder continues fast forward or
rewind.
Picture search - CUE & REVIEW
You can also quickly carry out a visual search for a desired section on a tape using
the CUE and REVIEW functions.
During playing back press either the fast forward (“ FF ”) or rewind (“ REW ”) button.
The tape will be played forward or backwards at about 7 times (NTSC recorded tape:
5 times) the normal playback speed. When the desired point on the tape has been
reached press the “ PLAY ” button and the video recorder will continue to play back
the tape at the normal speed.
Picture search will only continue for about 3 minutes, after which the video recorder
will return to normal playback mode.
Note
- During a visual search or still playback, the sound is muted and there will be
some “noise streaks” on the TV screen.
