Features and Operation

Jog / Shuttle Wheel
The wheel has two distinct modes of operation, Jog and
Shuttle.

The wheel defaults to Jog mode on power up.

To change from Jog to Shuttle mode, press the Jog button to
turn the LED off.

Jog Mode
In Jog mode, playback speed and direction is proportional to
the speed and direction that the wheel is rotated.

Rotate the wheel clockwise for forward playback.

Rotate the wheel counter clockwise for reverse playback.

In jog mode, continuously rotating the wheel results in 1X play
speed, either forward or backward.

To stop the tape, simply stop turning the wheel.

Shuttle Mode
In Shuttle mode, playback speed is related to the extent of
rotation away from the starting position of the wheel.

Rotate the wheel clockwise for forward shuttle.

Rotate the wheel counter clockwise for reverse shuttle.

In shuttle mode, one does not continuously rotate the wheel.
Tape continues to shuttle until the wheel is returned to its
starting position. Alternately, simply press Stop. The current
position of the wheel becomes its new starting position for the
next shuttle operation.
