USING TIME SEARCH

Your Model 28 lets you quickly move forward or backward through recorded material on a tape. For example, if you recorded three half-hour programs on a tape and you want to see the third program, you can set the Model 28 to quickly move the tape past the first hour of re- corded material.

Notes:

•You can move through up to 9 hours and 59 minutes of recorded material.

•You cannot view the tape or hear the tape’s sound while you search it.

1.Press MENU. The main menu appears on the TV screen.

2.Press 6 on the remote control to select TIME SEARCH. The TV screen shows TIME SEARCH, and the hour digit flashes.

TIME SEARCH - : - -

3.Use the number keys on the remote control to enter the desired amount of time you want to search as h mm. For example, to search 2 hours and 30 minutes of recorded material, press 2, 3, and 0.

Notes:

•If you are entering an hour number, do not precede the number with a 0. If you are entering a single-digit minute num- ber, precede it with a 0 — for example, 01, 02, etc.

•If you enter an incorrect hour, press ADD/ DELETE to move back to the incorrect hour, then enter the correct hour. If you enter an incorrect minute, use the num- ber buttons to re-enter the minutes.

4.To select the search direction, press F.FWD or REWIND. The Model 28 searches the tape in the direction you specified and stops when it reaches the time you speci- fied in Step 3.

The search time, displayed under TIME SEARCH on the TV screen, counts up or down as the Model 28 continues to search. When the counter reaches 0:00, the Model 28 stops searching and playback continues.

5.To cancel a time search, press STOP.

USING AUTOMATIC REPEAT PLAYBACK

Your Model 28 lets you automatically repeat playback from the beginning to the end of a tape, or from the beginning to a blank (unrecord- ed) portion of a tape.

Note: If the counter memory is activated (see “Using Counter Return” on Page 25), the tape automatically stops when the counter returns to 0:00:00, and automatic repeat does not work.

1.During playback, press MENU. The main menu appears on the TV screen.

2.Press 7 on the remote control to select USER’S SET UP. The set up menu appears on the TV screen.

3.Repeatedly press 3 until ALL appears next

to REPEAT PLAY (to repeat playback from the beginning to the end of the tape) or until BLANK appears (to repeat playback from the beginning to a blank portion — of at least 10 seconds in length — on the tape).

Note: If you previously set RENTAL PLAY to ON (see “Improving Playback of Older (Worn)/Damaged Tapes” on Page 27), the Model 28 might not display REPEAT PLAY, ALL, or BLANK.

To cancel automatic repeat playback, repeatedly press 3 until OFF appears next to REPEAT PLAY.
