worked until the last tape I checked always stopped on Field 1. This
got me thinking there may be a relationship between ctrl track phase
and where the machine parks, much like the issues we use to deal with
in the 3/4 inch days when some decks didn't have framing servos.
I offer:
I have some remaining knowledge on Beta SP VTRs and I've never heard
of this question before. Are you saying that EVERY TIME you randomly
stop playback, it lands on field 2?
As background, there IS a relationship between the CT phase and field
order. But beyond that, the mind gets fuzzy due to age.
