Slow Motion

Slow motion lets you view recordings at a slower speed, so you can easily see details on a tape.

Freeze-Frame

Freeze-frame lets you stop the tape to view a single frame. During freeze-frame, the picture quality is lower than during normal playback. The picture quality is best with recordings made at the SP or SLP speed.

To freeze a frame during playback, press PAUSE. To advance the picture one frame at a time, repeatedly press SLOW. Press PAUSE or PLAY (or PLAY/REPEAT) to return to the normal playback speed.

Notes:

•If the picture jitters during freeze-frame, try

pressing and holding CH or CH (or CHANNEL or CHANNEL ) until the pic- ture stabilizes.

•If you leave the TV/VCR in the freeze- frame mode for 3 minutes, it automatically stops the tape to protect it.

Fast-Forward/Rewind

To advance the tape quickly when it is stopped, press FAST-F. To rewind the tape quickly when it is stopped, press REW.

Note: You cannot view the tape or hear the tape’s sound while you fast-forward and rewind it, but you can use the tape counter to locate the approximate position on the tape. See “Us- ing the Counter” on Page 21.

TRACKING

The TV/VCR automatically adjusts tracking when you play a tape. If different parts of the tape were recorded at different speeds, the TV/ VCR automatically readjusts the tracking at the beginning of each recording.

If the TV/VCR’s picture is poor while playing a

tape, press and hold down CH or CH to manually adjust the tracking. To return to auto- matic tracking, eject and re-insert the tape.
