Jog and Shuttle Functions
The MCS3-SP has a professional jog/shuttle mechanism that
incorporates the Jog and Shuttle into a single knob. To change
between Jog and Shuttle operation, press the wheel. When in its
upper position, it behaves as a shuttle control. As a shuttle control,
the knob has center detent and rotation stops. Pressing on the
wheel changes it into a Jog control, with no rotation stops or
detent.

Jog Mode

In Jog mode, the 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 relative to the rotation of the
wheel from the center detent. Rotate the ring clockwise for forward
shuttle. Rotate the ring counter clockwise for reverse shuttle. The
deck will continue to shuttle until the ring is returned to its center
position or the deck reaches the end of tape. Alternately, you can
simply press Stop.

Shuttle LEDs

The two arrow LEDs above the Jog/Shuttle knob will indicate the
status of the Jog/Shuttle knob. This is detailed in the table below:

Note: After power up, the shuttle ring LEDs will not light until the
