Tape Motion Indicators

Any time a cassette is loaded in the compart-

ment, appears on the VCR’s display whether power is on or off.

The tape motion indicators on the VCR’s dis- play show you the current operating mode and the tape’s playback direction.

Note: You cannot watch the tape’s video or hear the tape’s sound while you fast-forward or rewind the tape.

Freeze-Frame

Freeze-frame lets you watch the tape a single frame at a time.

To freeze the tape during playback, press

PAUSE/STILL .

To advance the tape one frame at a time, re- peatedly press PAUSE/STILL .

To return to the normal playback speed, press

PLAY.

Notes:

You can also visual search backward or forward from the freeze-frame mode (see “Visual Search” on Page 29).

Depending on the tape speed used for recording, the freeze-frame might have reduced picture quality.

To protect the tape, if you leave the VCR in the freeze-frame mode for 5 minutes, the VCR automatically returns to normal play- back.

If a horizontal “noise” bar appears during freeze-frame, adjust the tracking in the slow-motion mode (see “Variable-Speed Slow Motion” on Page 29).

Caution: The shuttle dial on the VCR does not rotate 360°. Do not force it past the point where it stops.
