Notes:

If you leave the VCR in the freeze-frame mode for 3 minutes, the VCR stops playing the tape to protect the video heads.

To reduce or eliminate jitter in the freeze- frame picture, press and hold CH s or CH t until the picture is clear.

During freeze-frame, you can advance the pic- ture one frame at a time by repeatedly pressing SLOW. This feature works best with video cas- settes recorded at the SP or EP speed. Press PAUSE to return to normal playback.

Slow Motion

To start slow motion playback, while a tape is playing, press SLOW. Press SLOW again or PLAY to return to normal playback. During slow motion, the sound is muted and the picture quality is lower than during normal playback. Slow motion picture quality is best with tapes recorded at the SP or EP speed.

Notes:

If you leave the VCR in the slow-motion mode for 3 minutes, the VCR stops playing the tape to protect the video heads.

If the slow-motion picture is poor, press and hold CH s or CH t until the picture improves.

One Minute Skip

You can skip over unwanted material on the re- corded tape, such as commercials. Press ZERO/1MIN during playback. The VCR fast for- wards over the next minute of recording, then resumes normal playback.

REAL-TIME COUNTER

Using the Counter

Your VCR’s counter shows how long a tape has been running. To have the counter display on the TV screen, press DISP/ENT on the re- mote control.

The counter does not reset if you eject a tape then put in a new tape. To reset the counter to 0:00:00, press COUNTER RESET.

Note: The real-time counter might stop if you fast-forward or rewind through a blank section on the tape. This is normal.

Using the Zero Search Function

You can reset the counter to 0:00:00 at any position on the tape and then return to that po- sition. This lets you quickly return to a selected place on the tape later.

Follow these steps to use the zero search func- tion.

1.While a tape is playing, if the counter does not appear on the TV screen, press COUNTER RESET once to display it.

2.Within 5 seconds, press COUNTER RESET again at the location you want to return to later. The counter resets to 0:00:00.

3.When you want to return to the selected location, stop the tape, then press ZERO/ 1MIN. The tape rewinds or fast-forwards and automatically stops when it reaches

0:00:00.

Notes:

If you press REW to rewind the tape past 0:00:00, the time appears with a minus

(–) sign.

The counter does not work with blank tapes or blank portions of partially recorded tapes.
