Operating Notes

(_) The channel switch on the back of the VCR and the channel selector on your TV must be set to the

same channel in order to see the picture from the VCR.

The VCR is automatically turned on when the cassette is inserted. If the light above the STOP button flashes, wait until it lights continuously. (This is nnt a problem with the VCR). A flashing

light indicates too much internal moisture is

present. The VCR automatically enters playback mode when a cassette without a tab is inserted. Be

sure to check its tab before inserting a cassette.

(_ Normally record at SLP. Recording speeds are compared on page 9.

®It may be necessary to fine tune the TV for best picture and sound. If there is no picture on the TV

and no channel numbers in the VCR display, check

that the TUNER/LINE switch is set to TUNER.

@if the cassette without a tab is inserted, the VCR

ejects the cassette when the RECORD button is pressed.

®If you don' _ant to play back the tape, skip to Step 12 in the second drawing.

@REW appears in the display during rewind. When rewinding is finished this display goes off and the tight above the stop button turns on again.
