The 1.0speed is only available when shuttling in the forwarddirection.Shuttle operations are only possible when the JOG/SHUTTLE indicator is lit by pressing the JOG/SHUTTLE key.

Themonitoring of all other (unarmed) tracks can still beswitched on a track-by-track basis using the tracks’INPUT MONITOR switches.Shuttle monitoring is only enabled when AUTO MONis on. When AUTO MON is off, it has no effect.1 Select menu group 2, move the cursor toShtl Mon, and press ENTER:2 Use the § and ¶ keys to change the settingbetween off and on.When shuttle monitoring is enabled, the SHTLMON indicator below the tape counter lights.V a r i S p e e dV a r i + 1 . 4 %S h u t t l e M o n i t o ro f f
