to 0:00:00.
Display panel
COUNTER/SEARCH selector button
When this button is pressed, the display on the display
panel changes to time, counter, counter memory, alarm
search and number of repeat recording times. The M
mark appears on the display panel in the counter
memory mode. When the tape is fast forwarded or
rewound in this mode, the counter will automatically stop
when 0:00:00 is approached. The AS mark appears on
the display panel in the alarm search mode. When the
tape is fast forwarded or rewound in this mode, the unit
is automatically set to still-picture playback at the alarm
recording section. If the FF button or REW button is
pressed during playback with alarm search, the search
will lock. (If this button is pressed while the tape is being
fast forwarded or rewound, counter memory and alarm
search will not function.)
“** PAS” is displayed during repeat recording.
“__PAS” appears at all other times.
(where “** ” denotes the number of repeat times)
REC display lamp
This lamp lights while recording, recording/pause or rec
review is in progress. It goes off when recording has
finished.
ALARM display lamp
This remains lit while alarm recording is in progress. It
flashes when alarm recording ends. When the power is
turned OFF and ON again, it will go off.
Search dial/jog dial
Search (outside ring) dial
When the outside ring of the search dial is turned, the
search mode is established. The tape can now be
reviewed or cued at up to 27 times the normal playback
speed. When the search dial is set to the centre click-
stop position, the still-picture playback mode is
established. Search is locked at 27 time the tape speed
when the dial is turned to the maximum position in the
AS (Alarm Search) mode.
Jog (inside ring) dial
When the search dial is set to the centre click-stop
position, the jog mode is established.
When the inside ring is turned, the tape speed can be
varied within a range of –1 to +1 times the normal
playback speed. When the turning is stopped, the still-
picture playback mode is established. The unit will go
into the still-picture playback mode when the JOG dial is
turned during search lock in AS mode.
• During search or jog playback, the picture may appear
in black and white or it may be distorted: this is normal
and not indicative of malfunctioning.
• No sound is heard during search or jog playback.
