USING THE GAME MODE

The Model 36 has a preprogrammed picture control setting for viewing video games or simi- lar programs. This setting softens the contrast and is easier on the eyes.

Follow these steps to turn the game mode on or off.

1.Press MENU to select the main menu.

2.Press PLAY/s or STOP/t to select USER’S SET UP, then press F.FWD/ . The user’s set up menu appears.

– USER'S SET UP –

GAME MODE	[ON]
RENTAL	[OFF]
REPEAT PLAY	[OFF]
AUTO RETURN	[OFF]

3.Repeatedly press REW/ or F.FWD/ until ON appears next to GAME MODE (to turn on game mode) or until OFF appears (to turn it off).

4.Press MENU to exit.

Note: If you manually change the picture control settings, the Model 36 automatically sets the game mode to OFF.

USING THE COUNTER

Your Model 36’s counter shows how long a tape has been running, in hours, minutes, and sec- onds. To display the counter, repeatedly press DISPLAY until COUNT and the counter appear at the bottom of the TV screen. To reset the counter to 0:00:00, press COUNTER RESET.

Note: Because the Model 36’s counter reads special signals recorded on the tape, the counter might stop while you fast-forward or re- wind through a blank section on the tape. This is normal.

Using Counter Return

Follow these steps to use the counter to easily return to a selected point on the tape.

1.During playback, repeatedly press DISPLAY until COUNT and the counter appear.

2.When you see the location on the tape that you want to return to later, press COUNTER RESET then COUNTER MEMORY. MEMORY replaces COUNT next to the counter.

MEMORY 0:00:00

3.To return to the location you selected in Step 2, press STOP then F.FWD/ or REW/ . The tape fast-forwards or rewinds and automatically stops at 0:00:00.

Notes:

•The tape usually stops exactly at 0:00:00. However, depending on the tape you use, it might stop a few seconds sooner or later.

•When the tape is stopped at or near 0:00:00, you can continue to move it for- ward or backward from there. – appears if you move it backward from 0:00:00.

To reset the Model 36 so it does not stop the tape at the point you selected in Step 2, repeat- edly press COUNTER MEMORY until COUNT ap- pears next to the counter.

USING TIME SEARCH

Your Model 36 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 36 to quickly move the tape past the first hour of re- corded material.
