Servo
A mechanism that controls the
number and phase of revolutions of
the head drum, capstan, or reel tables.
The servo mechanism allows
recording and playback of the video
signal without guard band noise. The
reference signal of the servo control
is normally a vertical sync signal.

Stand-by off mode
A mode in which the head drum is
stationary and the tape is slack. It
means that the VTR is not ready for
immediate recording or playback. It
does not mean that the tape or video
heads are damaged.

Stand-by on mode
A mode in which the head drum
rotates with the tape wrapped around
it. It means that the VTR is ready for
recording or playback. The VTR
comes into Stand-by off mode in a
settled time not to damage tape and
video head.
