The PREFERENCES menu allows changes to be made to a variety of different VCR features.

Auto Play

With Auto Play turned ON (the factory default setting), the VCR automatically starts playback when you insert a tape with the safety tab removed.

To Access Auto Play:

1.In the PREFERENCES menu, press 2 repeatedly to switch between Auto Play: ON and OFF.

•Select ON if you want a tape with its safety tab removed to start playing automatically when inserted.

•Select OFF if you do not want a tape with its safety tab removed to start playing automatically.

Auto TV/VCR

To control whether the VCR’s TV/VCR setting changes automatically to VCR- viewing mode when turned on, use the Auto TV/VCR setting.

To Access Auto TV/VCR:

In the PREFERENCES menu, press 3 repeatedly to toggle between Auto TV/VCR: ON and OFF.

Note: Pressing the TV•VCR button on the remote control will switch between VCR and TV-viewing modes. When in VCR-viewing mode, VCR is displayed on the front panel. The VCR indicator turns off when in TV- viewing mode.

•Select ON to switch VCR-viewing mode on automatically when the VCR’s power is turned on. The VCR must be connected to the TV using the supplied RF coaxial cable for this feature to work.

•Select OFF to remain in the TV-viewing mode when the VCR is initially turned on. Leaving Auto TV/VCR off is useful if you use A/V cables to connect the VCR to the TV and you watch the VCR’s picture using the TV’s Video Line Input. This way, the antenna/cable signal will not be interrupted by the VCR.
