It's the small button with a doubble arrow you must use for the fast
scan. It has the same icon as was used at most tapedecks and VCRs for
Fast Forward.

Which reminds me of a senior citizen who worried that he needed to rewind a
rental DVD before returning it. How long before almost nobody remembers
tape?

We have friends whose 11 year old son was totally flabbergasted by his
grandma still having a phone with a dial disk. He had no clue how to use it
and kept punching his finger into the whole in the disk, wondering why
nothing happened.

I guess I'm part of the last generation of still using those phones before
touch tone dialling was introduced here (a long time after it was common
practice in the US, I know :)
