Some HDV Camcorders Require a Moment to Synchronize
Some HDV camcorders require a moment to synchronize the video from an 
external source. Typically during this period, they display a solid blue or 
black video until synchronized.
Fast Forward and Reverse
Pressing the Forward Search button multiple times results in increases in 
the search speed, i.e. fast forward. This mode works both in forward and 
reverse functions. For instance, if you are in 10X FF speed and you press 
the Back Search button once, the FS-C is now in 2X FF mode. In addition, 
this applies to backward search speeds. The default speed resolution is as 
follows (NTSC and PAL have slightly different multiples for < 1X)
• Reverse: -30X, -10X, -2X, -1X (reverse play), -1/2X(-15fps), Still. 
• Forward: Still, +1/2X (+15fps), +1X (play), +2X, +10X, +30X
Fast Forward and Reverse Search Compatible Camcorders
In Forward and Reverse Search modes, some camcorders do not display 
video when played-back from an external device, such as the FS-C.
