Basic Operations

Practice starting and stopping a video you've rented - play it through, see how it automatically rewinds. Get a blank tape and try recording a TV show. Then you'll know how to use the VCR when you need to - or where in the manual to find the instructions you forgot. Let's go .t

To play Back a Recorded Tape

1.Insert the cassette, arrow-side forward, into the slot at the front of the VCR. The power comes on automatically and the tape indicator lights on the display.

2.Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4) using the number buttons on the TV's remote control.

3.Press PLAY to start the tape.

4.Press STOP to end play.

Direct Video Input to the TV

Normally you would select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from the VCR. You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary video input feature and if the TV and VCR have a direct video-to- video hookup. If this is the case, do not select channel 3 or 4. Instead:

Press the AUX or VIDEO button on the TV's remote control to select the proper input channel for playback.

To Fine Tune the Picture

Auto Tracking

Pressing PLAY starts the auto tracking feature, which adjusts the tuning to eliminate static lines that may appear on the screen.

Manual Tracking

Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture adjustment. You can do this with the remote control. Press either 1 or 4 button until picture clears up.

After operating the tracking manually, eject the tape and reinsert it to reactivate auto tracking.

If you press the DISPLAY button when viewing a videocassette, the display, as shown, appears for several seconds so you can see the functions of the number buttons on the remote control.
