A tape can be set to play the same segment over and over in a repeating loop with the Set Auto Repeat feature. Set Auto Repeat uses the VCR’s memory counter to determine the duration of the loop.

In the PREFERENCES menu, press the 7 button to choose Set Auto Repeat. The SET AUTO REPEAT menu will ask for an ending time for the loop to be specified:

•The CLEAR button will erase all three numbers entered and move the cursor back to the first position (hours).

•The Press CLEAR to turn off message will appear only after the first number has been entered into the end time.

•Auto Repeat is set back to -:-- by resetting the dialog box, ejecting a tape, powering off the VCR, power interruption, or by recording start.

When a duration time has been set:

•The VCR will automatically switch to rewind if the counter meets or goes past the set Auto Repeat duration.

•The VCR will automatically switch to playback during rewind if the counter equals or is less than 0:00.

•The Auto Repeat may be adjusted by setting the counter to 00:00. This can be done by pressing the CLEAR button while the tape counter is on screen or on the front panel display.

•The counter will not reset while rewinding in an Auto Repeat loop.
