VIDEO APPARATUS OPERABLE IN A QUIESCENT STATE ABSTRACT A video player includes a playback head (26) that repeatedly passes in contact with a circular track (A) on a flexible magnetic disk (10) in order to reproduce a still picture on a video display (34). By cycling the player into a special quiescent state after a certain interval elapses without user instructions, excessive disk wear is avoided. While in the quiescent state, the disk drive motor (14) is stopped...immobilizing the disk-to-head interface...and the video display (34) is blanked. If user instructions are received while in this state, the disk drive motor (14) is reenergized and the video display (34) is resumed, showing the still picture displayed prior to interruption. If no user instructions are received during a further interval, the player is shut off.
