USING TIME SEARCH
Your Model 28 lets you quickly move forward or

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.

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.
