CHANGING THE TAPE’S DIRECTION/VARYING THE PLAYBACK SPEED

You can use the buttons on the front of the Mod- el 36 and remote control to change the tape’s di- rection and vary the playback speed.

Visual Search

Visual search lets you view recordings either forward or backward at either a normal speed or faster speed, so you can find a specific section of the tape.

Notes:

You can use normal speed search with tapes recorded at any speed. Faster speed search works only with tapes recorded at the LP or SLP speed. See “Recording/Play- back Speeds” on Page 28.

During visual search, the sound is muted and the picture quality is lower than during normal playback. The search picture is best with tapes recorded at the SLP speed.

To search forward at normal speed during play- back, press F.FWD/ once. To search back- ward at normal speed during playback, press REW/ once. To search forward or backward at

a faster speed, press F.FWD/

or REW/

again.

 

To stop visual search and resume play, press PLAY.

Freeze-Frame

Freeze-frame lets you stop the tape to view a single frame.

To freeze a frame during playback, press PAUSE/STILL. If you hear noise during freeze- frame, press PAUSE/STILL again.

To resume playback, press PLAY.

Notes:

During freeze-frame, the picture quality is lower than during normal playback. The picture quality is best with recordings made at the SLP speed. See “Recording/Play- back Speeds” on Page 28.

If you leave the Model 36 in the freeze- frame mode for 5 minutes, it automatically stops the tape to protect it.

Fast-Forward/Rewind

To quickly advance or rewind the tape quickly when it is stopped, press F.FWD/ or REW/ .

Note: You cannot see the tape’s picture or hear the tape’s sound while it fast-forwards or re- winds.

TRACKING

The Model 36 automatically adjusts tracking when you play a tape. If different parts of the tape were recorded at different speeds, the Model 36 automatically readjusts the tracking at the beginning of each recording.

If the Model 36’s picture is poor while playing a tape, hold down CHANNEL t or s to manually ad- just the tracking.

Note: When you stop or eject a tape, the Model 36 resets to automatic tracking.
