Introduction 3

Welcome to your VCR owner’s manual.

This manual describes the VRZ220 and the VRZ250. The VRZ220 is a two-head, monaural (single sound source) system, while the VRZ250 is a four-head, stereo system. The VRZ250 can play tapes in Slow Motion and perform a Time Search; the VRZ220 can not. Otherwise, the two models are exactly the same. In this manual, the VRZ250 is illustrated. (The VRZ220 has single AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks. Also, the VRZ220 remote control does not have the SLOW button and the TIME SEARCH button. Otherwise, the VRZ220 looks exactly like the VRZ250.)

This manual has seven sections: Setting Up Your VCR; Description of Controls; Basic Operations; Recording; Playing; Stereo Features; and Information You May Need. The instructions explain all of the VCR’s features, which are listed below. You cannot hurt your VCR by trying the features!

So read on – and relax.

with the mark. The use of tapes that have not been inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.

Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
