My philips 778 will not fast record and the jog knob is missing. would the jog control have any thing to do with the record speed?

I think you mean Jog knob. When in play mode moving the knob to the right will cause it to go fast forward in play, and moving to the left will go into reverse play. Taking you finger off will cause the video to go back into play mode.

Look for a fine speed control on that unit since it is a DJ model. If none present then there is a problem with the electronics regulating speed..

what is knob version?

With no media in the recorder.
1. Press the Menu button
2. use the Multi Jog knob to highlight utility
3. Press in on the Multi Jog knob to choose utility menu
4. Scroll down in the utility Menu and highlight Factory Reset
5. Press the Multi Jog knob to choose Factory Reset
6. Press the Multi Jog again knob to execute the Factory Reset

it will remember the time and I think what input you were using.

The deck is bad needs a new worm gear for the functioning motor.

On my CD recorder when it enters the finalize mode it first writes the PMA, after that mine gives a readout of the time it will take to finalize, after all that you need to hit the play button to write to the disk.

I don't have your exact unit but I supect you need to push an additional button to get it to start writing to the disc to complete the process.

Hi victorjdambr

You do not say which Model or type (analogue or digital) of Philips Pocket Memo you have.

For further information, click on your model here and then download the associated instruction manual in PDF Format (which can be viewed using Adobe Reader):

Many Voice Recorders can play back at variable speed and have a sliding switch that alters the playback speed. If yours is a Digital Model, you can refer to the Playback Speed Settings in the appropriate manual for your Model (see, for example page 17 of the PDF manual for Model number 9375).

Look carefully for this Playback Speed Control and use it to adjust the Playback Speed.

If yours is an Analogue Model, pay attention in the manual to the Playback and Fast Forward Settings (for example, point number 8 on page 4 of the manual for the 388/488 Model, which describes the 4-Position Switch with both Playback and Fast Forward with Listen-in Control Settings).

I hope this helps.
