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.
