RECORDING CHECK FUNCTION

When the VCR is recording, press the REC CHECK button for more than 1.5 seconds and then release. The tape rewinds a little and then the VCR plays back the recording just made. When the tape reaches the spot where you pressed REC CHECK, the VCR starts recording again.

AUDIO RECORDING/PLAYBACK

Audio will not be recorded if cables are not connected to the AUDIO IN connector or the microphone is not connected to the MIC IN jack.

The 2H (playback only), 6H, and 8H modes and L18H, L24H, L30H, and L40H modes are for audio recording and playback on the linear track. Normal sound is played back only when a tape recorded in these modes is played back in its respective mode.

The lengthier the recording mode, the poorer the sound quality. In L30H and L40H modes, sound quality is such that speech can be heard.

REPEAT RECORDING

With this function, when the tape reaches its end during recording, the VCR rewinds the tape and starts recording again. Table E shows what happens automatically when the tape ends during recording.

4.Turn the JOG dial to select REPEAT or ALARM•PROT, and then turn the SHUTTLE ring right. Refer to Table E. The repeat indicator on the fluorescent display lights.
