Helpful Hints (cont’d) 81

You cannot insert a video cassette.

•Insert the tape, window side up, with the record tab facing you.

•

Make sure a tape isn’t already in the VCR by pressing STOP/EJECT CA on the front of the System.

•

Gently push on the center of the tape when putting it in the VCR. Never force the tape into the VCR.

•If a timer recording is set, you cannot insert a tape without a record tab.

You cannot remove the tape.

•Make sure the power plug is completely connected to a power outlet.

•Unplug the System power cord for five minutes.Then, plug in the power cord again and press STANDBY- ON y on the System. Press STOP/EJECT CA on the System three to five times. If the tape still does not eject, you may need to have an authorized servicer remove the tape.

The System ejects the tape when you press REC I, RECORD I, or TIMER SET.

•Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page 34.

Line Input mode

•If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (L1 or L2 will appear on your TV screen briefly), press SKIP i/CH o or SKIP j/CH p or the Number buttons to select another channel.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

•During playback, Hi-Fi audio may normally revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking.

•When connecting the System to a TV with the red and white audio cables, you will only get stereo sound if you connect the AUDIO (DVD/VCR OUT) jacks on the System to the Audio In jacks on your TV. Put the TV on its Audio/Video In channel. See your TV owner’s manual for details.

•When you connect the AUDIO (DVD/VCR OUT) jacks on the System to the Audio In jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. If the status display indicates you are receiving stereo, you are. Details are on page 47.

•Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play in Hi-Fi audio.Tapes recorded in normal audio will play in monaural (single-channel) audio.

Cleaning the Video Heads

•Your System automatically cleans the video heads of the VCR each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. If so, have an authorized servicer clean the video heads. Eventually, the heads may need to be replaced.

The playback picture is too dim, too bright, or fluctuates in brightness.
