4.4.4 Fast Wind and Cue Monitor
Pressing the F.FWD button places the machine into fast wind mode. Pressing the RWD
button places the machine in rewind mode. The machine can enter these modes from any
mode other than Edit mode. When the machine is in Fast Forward or Rewind mode, the
tape is normally lifted away from the heads. To monitor the signal on the tape while fast
winding press the CUE button. When the CUE button is pressed the lifters are retracted
and the tape comes into contact with the heads. There are two methods of operating the
CUE button as described below.
Tapping the CUE button

with the heads so that the tape can be monitored. Tapping the CUE button again raises the
lifters.
Holding the CUE button down
Holding the CUE button down retracts the lifters for as long as the button is held down.
