Playing

a Tape

Note:

Do not attempt to insert an 8mm tape into the VHS deck.

Note:

Aplay-only tape is a VHS tape in which the Record Safety Tab has been removed, or an 8mm tape in which the red Record Safety Tab is visible. A play-

only tape will automatically play when inserted, because the Dual-Deck VCR knows that you can't record onto the tape, you can only play the tape.

Note:

You may play your Hi-8 tapes on your Dual-Deck, however, you will view them at standard resolution.

Playing a tape on your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR is simple:

1.Insert an 8mm tape into the left-hand 8mm deck, or a VHS tape into the right-hand VHS deck of your 8mm/ VHS Dual-Deck VCR.

If the tape is a play-only tape, it will automati- cally begin to play when inserted.

If you have changed the AUTO PLAY/REW item in the AUTO FEATURES MENU to OFF or to REW, press PLAY to begin playing the tape. You will also need to press PLAY if there is a Record Safety Tab in place on a VHS tape, or if the red Record Safety Tab is not visible on an 8mm tape.

While you are playing a tape, you can press PAUSE to tempo- rarily freeze the picture, or STOP to stop the playback altogether.

While you are playing a VHS tape, you can view the tape in double speed or in slow motion, fast-forward or reverse. You can advance the frozen picture one frame at a time, or adjust the VHS tracking. See the Special Playback Functions section of the Reference Guide for details on these functions.

See the discussion of Video SequencingTM and Loop Play in the Special Playback Functions section of the Reference Guide if you want to set the VCR to automatically play both decks in sequence or in a loop.

If you want, you can play tapes in both the 8mm deck and the VHS deck at the same time! Choose the deck you want to watch by selecting that deck in the TV View section of the remote control. This can be helpful if you are monitoring both decks during editing.
