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.
