current position. (
Play
is not “memorized.” If you are performing another operation,
the VR240 will not automatically start playing when the operation is complete.)
While playing, the
Rew
and
FFwd
keys are redefined, as explained below. All the
transport keys other than
Rec
and
Eject
are active during
Play
.
Rewind
The
Rew
key is active both when the media is stopped and when the VR240 is
playing. If you hit
Rew
while the media is stopped, the media will be moved from its
current position to its beginning. The VR240 offers three rewind speeds. To speed
up the Rewind task, press the key multiple times.
NOTE
Variable speed Rew/FFwd applies only to the hard drive.
If you hit
Rew
while the media is playing or paused, it will also be moved from its
current position to the beginning of the media. However, instead of moving
immediately to the beginning, the
position
will be shown on the display with the
media usage counter, time and date. The display is updated at every index
boundary, or each time approximately 2-3% of the media is passed, giving counter
readings that decrease by about 250. In this way, you can get a quick overview of
what times correspond to what positions, and how much of the media has been
recorded.
While in this special
Rew
mode,
both
the
Play
and the
Stop
keys are active.
If you hit
Play
, the
Play
transport key LED starts blinking, and as soon as the
media reaches an index boundary, it will begin playing at that point.
If you hit
Stop
, the
Stop
transport key LED starts blinking, and as soon as the
media reaches an index boundary, the VR240 will enter the
Pause
mode. From
Pause
you can, as usual, hit
Play
to continue playing from that point or hit
Stop
twice to get exit from the play menu.
While in the normal
Rew
mode, the
Rew
transport key LED is illuminated and no
keys are active until the media reaches the beginning.
FForward
The
FFwd
key is active both when the media is stopped and when the VR240 is
playing. If you hit
FFwd
while the media or optical disk is stopped, it will be moved
from its current position to the end.
If you hit
FFwd
while the media is playing or paused, it will also be moved from its
current position to the end of the recorded material. However, instead of moving
irrevocably to the end, the position will be shown on the display with the media
usage counter, time and date. The display is updated at every index boundary, or
each time approximately 2-3% of the media is passed, giving counter readings that
increase by about 250. In this way, you can get a quick overview of what times
correspond to what media positions, and how much of the media has been
recorded. The VR240 offers three fast forward speeds. To speed up the fast
forward task, press the key multiple times.
