Hello John, When you start replaying a file, the default state of the ring, is 12 o'clock is volume up, 6 o;'clock is volume down. 9 and 3, are back and forward through the files on the recorder.
While playing a file, press the enter key, the key in the middle of the ring, once, then the up and down positions on the dial act as increase speed 12 o'clock, decrease speed 6 o'clock. Pressint the enter after this, takes you back to the default action which is volume up and down. If you do nothing, having made a playback speed change, the control defaults back to volume. What I don't know, is how to get playback back to normal, apart from using my ears. I suspect that if the recorder is turned off, then it reverts back to standard playback speed. I think there about 23 or 24 steps from slowest to fastest speed. Hope this helps. On Sun, 12 Nov 2017 10:32:38 -0500 "JOHN RIEHL" <realma...@verizon.net> wrote: > Hi.
