BASIC OPERATION

PLAYING A RENTAL TAPE

When you load a cassette with the safety tab removed, the VCR starts playing it automatically.

Before starting

œTurn on the TV.

œ Set the TV to channel 3 or 4.

This VCR features full automatic playback and rewind.

Load a cassette (with the safety tab removed).

œThe power turns on automatically and playback begins.

œ At the end of the tape, the VCR stops, then rewinds.

œ The cassette is ejected after rewinding.	No safety tab

Playback of Copyguarded Tapes

Some prerecorded tapes employ a copyguard system that may cause intermittent distortion in the upper portion of the picture during playback. (This distortion is more likely to be visible on an older TV.) If you experience this problem, do the following:

1Select a TV station with a strong, clear signal.

2Record a brief segment of that station’s programming.

3Play back the recording.

If the playback picture is clear, the VCR is operating properly. The distortion on the prerecorded tape is due to the copyguard system.
