PLAYBACK(cont.)

Instant ReView

Simply by pressing a single button, the recorder power comes on, rewinds, and begins playback of the last timer-recorded programme. If you have several programmes recorded, you can easily access any of them.

NOTE:

Before starting, make sure that the recorder is off and that the Timer mode is disengaged.

ACTIVATE INSTANT

REVIEW

1 Press REVIEW. The recorder power comes on and the recorder searches for the index code indicating the start of the last timer-recorded programme. Once it’s found, playback begins automatically.

The front display panel tells you how many programmes have been recorded. If you have, for example, 3 programmes, “REV 3” appears and blinks. To watch the first of the 3 programmes, press REVIEW three times. The recorder searches and begins playback automatically. You can access a programme as far as 9 index codes away from the current tape position.

NOTE:

Instant ReView is not possible while the recorder is in the Timer mode.

NTSC Playback

Your video recorder is equipped with NTSC circuitry that can play back NTSC tapes.

LOAD A CASSETTE

1 Insert a cassette recorded in NTSC.

START PLAYBACK

2 Press PLAY. “NT” appears on the display panel.

Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.

The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)

The counter and elapsed tape time readings will be incorrect.

During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.

Repeat Playback

Your video recorder can automatically play back the whole tape 20 times repeatedly.
