Auto Features
Your VCR-2 has a number of automatic features that simplify tape viewing.
Auto Play - When a tape with no record safety tab is inserted into either deck, your VCR-2 begins playing the tape. The TV/VCR indicator switches to VCR and the TV View switches to that deck. If a tape is already playing in the other deck, it will continue to play. You can view either deck. You can turn Auto Play on or off, it is preset to OFF. See page 23.
Auto Power Off - While a tape is rewinding or recording a timer event, press the Power button and your VCR-2 will turn off when rewind or event is complete. The Power indicator will blink while this mode is active. Pressing Power or any tape-related button (e.g.: Play, Stop, etc.) will cancel Auto Power Off.
Auto Power On - Power turns on when a tape is inserted into either deck.
The TV/VCR indicator switches to VCR.
Auto Rewind - Your VCR-2 will automatically rewind when the end of the tape is reached during play or fast forward. You can turn Auto Rewind on or off, it is preset to ON. See page 23.
Auto Stop - Your VCR-2 will stop if a deck is left in play still or record pause for more than 5 minutes. This prevents damage to the tape.
Memory Stop - If the Counter/Time Display is set to Tape Counter, then when rewinding or fast forwarding, your VCR-2 will stop when 0000 is reached on the Tape Counter. See the next page.
Remote Load/Eject - You can load and eject tapes using your Remote
Control. Press Play to load a tape that is in the ejected position. Press
Stop/Eject to eject a tape which is stopped. You can turn Remote Load/
Eject on or off, it is preset to ON. See page 23.
