46 Automatic Operation Features

The following tape features are available in VCR mode. Press VCR so the red VCR light is on, if necessary.

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the System, the power will come on. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.

If a timer recording is set and the TIMER REC light is flashing, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.

If a timer recording is set and the TIMER REC light is flashing, the System will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the tape will rewind to the beginning, stop, and eject.

This feature does not operate if AUTO REPEAT is ON. Details are on page 42.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the System power on or off (but the System’s power cord must be plugged in).

If a timer recording is set and the TIMER REC light is on, pressing STOP/EJECT CA will turn on the System and/or cancel the timer recording.The TIMER REC light will turn off. Press STOP/EJECT CA again to remove the tape. Remember to insert a tape and press TIMER SET to reset the timer recording.
