[QUOTE="chrisdc, post: 322915, member: 14781"] A scrap Pioneer CT-F650 i have is marked "Pioneer Music Select System". It didn't take manufacturers long to see the wear effects of music search systems on tape heads. This led to the development of mechanisms that disengaged the head completely if "Stop / F/Fwd" was selected but left the heads skimming the tape surface if you went from Play straight to F/Fwd. (Music search) I had no idea such a system existed for VCR. I didn't get involved in VCR repairs beyond servicing my own kit. You certainly know your stuff! Very impressive. :) [/QUOTE]
