Express Recording (XPR)

Description: XPR quickly records the remaining portion of a program already in progress. XPR is a great way to capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long.

Requirements: Repeatedly press the Record button on the VCR front panel or remote control to set the desired duration of time to record.

Pro-Tect Plus™ Locking

Description: Locks the VCR so that buttons on the front panel and remote control won’t operate the VCR. This feature protects timer programs from frustrating accidents such as being left on at the time of recording.

Requirements: Lock the VCR by pressing and holding the POWER button on the remote control for six seconds. The front panel display will blink for several seconds. The VCR unlocks by pressing and holding the POWER button on the remote control, again for six seconds. The front panel display will blink again and release the lock on the system.

Front Audio/Video Input Jacks

Description: The VCR has Audio/Video (A/V) input jacks on both the front and rear of the unit (there are output jacks on the rear panel only). The front A/V jacks make it easy to plug in an external A/V device, such as a camcorder.

Requirements: Make sure that all A/V connections are snug. To see a connected device’s image, turn the VCR to its Video Line Input by pressing the remote control’s INPUT button.

Hi-Fi Quality Sound

Description: When using the VCR’s A/V jacks, you can feed stereo quality sound from your VCR to your TV or stereo. Stereo quality sound allows for two separate channels of sound (Left and Right) to be heard.

Requirements: Using A/V jacks and cables to connect the VCR to the TV or stereo (see page 60 for an advanced connection setup diagram).

SQPB S-VHS Quasi Playback

Description: Your VCR will be able to play back tapes recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS-ET mode (in VHS quality).

Requirements: Insert a tape recorded in S-VHS or S-VHS-ET mode and pressing the PLAY button on the remote control or PLAY•PAUSE on the VCR.
