Shuttle Lock Modes
There are two Shuttle Lock modes (Classic and
Transport). Both modes let you use the numeric
keypad to shuttle forward or backwards at specific
speeds.
• 5 is normal speed.
• 6–9 provide increasingly greater fast-
forward speeds.
• 1–4 provide progressively greater rewind speeds
(4 is the slowest, 1 is the fastest).
• Press 0 to stop Shuttle Lock, then press the num-
ber to resume Shuttle Lock speed.
• Press Escape or Spacebar to exit Shuttle Lock
mode.
