Playing a Tape

Using the Playback Features

Pause

This feature pauses the tape in action and allows you to examine the details of the scene. Pause works best for tapes recorded in the SLP speed.

1. Press PAUSE on the remote during playback to pause the action.

The TV/VCR will automatically switch from pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.

2. Press PAUSE or PLAY to return to playback.

Picture Search

You can visually search a picture during playback. Sound is turned off during picture search. The picture is best for tapes recorded in the SLP speed.

1. During playback, press FF to search forward or REW to search in reverse.

If you start searching within five seconds of a previous search, the search speed will be slower for approximately eight seconds.

2.Press FF or REW again, or press PLAY to return to playback.

Automatic Tracking

The TV/VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing a tape that was recorded on another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on whenever a tape is inserted or the TV/VCR’s power is turned on.

Manual Tracking

Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust tracking on a tape recorded on a different VCR or camcorder. Tracking is used when playing a tape. It has no effect during recording.

When streaks or snow appear in the picture during normal playback or slow motion, press TRACK up or down on the remote or CH up or down on the TV/VCR for the best possible picture.

To turn automatic tracking back on, press and hold both of the CH buttons on the front of the TV/VCR.
