CHANGING THE TAPE’S DIRECTION/VARYING THE PLAYBACK SPEED

You can use the buttons on the front of the Mod- el 28 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.

Note: 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.

To search forward at normal speed during play- back, press F.FWD once. To search backward at normal speed during playback, press REWIND once. Then, to search forward or backward at a faster speed during playback, press F.FWD or REWIND again.

To stop visual search and play the tape, press PLAY.

Note: During visual search, the sound is muted and the picture quality is lower than during nor- mal playback. The search picture is best with tapes recorded at the SLP speed.

Freeze-Frame

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

To freeze a frame during playback, press PAUSE/STILL. To advance the picture one frame at a time, repeatedly press PAUSE/STILL.

To return to the normal playback speed, 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.

•If you leave the Model 28 in the freeze- frame mode for 5 minutes, it automatically stops the tape to protect it.

Fast-Forward/Rewind

To advance the tape quickly when it is stopped, press F.FWD.

To rewind the tape quickly when it is stopped, press REWIND.

Note: You cannot view the tape or hear the tape’s sound while you fast-forward and rewind it.

TRACKING

Auto Tracking

The Model 28 automatically adjusts tracking when you play a tape. If different parts of the tape were recorded at different speeds, the Model 28 automatically readjusts the tracking at the beginning of each recording.

Adjusting the Tracking Manually

If the Model 28’s picture is poor while playing a

tape, press and hold down CHANNEL or

CHANNEL on the Model 28 (or CH or CH on the remote control) to manually adjust the

tracking. Press CHANNEL and CHANNEL

on the Model 28 at the same time to return to au- tomatic tracking.

Note: When you stop or eject a tape, the Model 28 automatically resets to automatic tracking.
