Connections & Setup

VCR Basics

Once your initial settings are complete, you can begin using your VCR. In order to begin, you must first understand some basic concepts.

Automatic Tracking

The VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing back a tape recorded on another VCR. To adjust tracking manually, use the TRACKING -/+ buttons on the remote control.

Playing a Tape

1.Tune the TV to your VCR viewing channel (03, 04, or the video line input).

2.Insert a tape in the VCR.

If the Auto Play feature is set to ON, the tape automatically begins playback (if the safety tab on the tape is removed).

•Press FWD or REV (FORWARD or REVERSE on the remote control) to cue the tape at the desired starting position.

•Press PLAY (if necessary) to begin tape play.

•Press PAUSE for stop action.

•Press TRACKING up or down (TRACKING + or – on the remote control) to remove any streaks from the picture, if necessary.

•Press STOP to stop playback.

Automatic Rewind

The VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of the tape during playback. While rewinding, you can press the ON•OFF button and the VCR will turn off after finishing. If the tape has no safety tab, it will be ejected.

Tape Eject

Press the EJECT button on the VCR when stopped to eject the tape. You can also press and hold the remote control’s STOP button for three seconds.

Recording

1.Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote control (see Tape Speed on page 23 for information about recording speeds).

2.Press the RECORD button to begin recording.

3.Press the STOP button to halt recording.

If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (like during a commercial), press PAUSE instead of STOP.
