Controlling the tape/disk transport with the
search dial
With the device control block, you can play back the
material on an external device in variable speed.
This section describes the three playback modes, taking
the device control block (search dial) as an example.
If you turn this dial during video playback, the direction
and speed of playback depend on the direction and angle
of rotation. To use this dial, press the [ENBL] button to the
upper right of the dial, lighting it amber. This dial has three
operation modes: jog, shuttle, and variable.

Press the [JOG] button, lighting the button amber, to
