PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached during playback or search?

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?

A.No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.

Q.During search, still and frame-by-frame playback, the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?

A.Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the picture.

Q.When returning from multi-speed search to normal playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be concerned about this?

A.No, it is normal.

Q.When playing back programs that have been timer- recorded with consecutive times (such one program from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to 10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily distorted at the point where the first program ends and the second program begins. Is this a malfunction?

A.No. This is normal.

Q.Other than preventing further recording, what effect does removing the safety tab have?

A.It disables marking of index codes.

Q.Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find the program I want to see. Why not?

A.There may be index codes too close together.

Q.During playback, on-screen operational indicators sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?

A.If the condition of the tape being played back is not good, jittering of the video (including on-screen indicators) may occur.

RECORDING

Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end of the recording before the pause is overlapped by the new recording. Why does this happen?

A.This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and resume points.

Q.Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause mode?

A.No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts off automatically after 5 minutes.

Q.What happens if the tape runs out during recording?

A.The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.

TIMER RECORDING

Q. REC and äremain lit on the front display panel. Is there a problem?

A.No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in progress.

Q.Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape or a TV broadcast?

A.Yes, but while you are setting the timer you won't see the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the tape or broadcast program will be present during the setting of the timer.
