Automatic Operation Features 45

The following playback features will always operate:

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on auto- matically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automati- cally when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.

If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape, go into the Stop mode, eject the tape, then turn itself off.

If the real time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself off.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR must be plugged in). If a Timer Recording is programmed, a tape can only be ejected with the power on. Make sure you insert a tape for the Timer Recording.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The VCR continually adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR.

NOTES:

•The CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR adjust tracking dur- ing playback.

•This function is controlled only by the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR. The CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the remote con- trol will not adjust tracking.

•To return tracking to the position it was in when the VCR was shipped from the factory, press the CHANNEL (Up) and CHANNEL (Down) buttons on the VCR at the same time.

•Tracking is returned to auto tracking when a tape is inserted, or when the STOP button is pressed to halt playback.

•When the VCR is in Slow mode, auto tracking will not work. Instead, use the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR to reduce noise lines in slow motion playback.

•Manual tracking will not operate when the VCR is in Still mode. If you want to reduce noise lines in a still picture, place the VCR in Slow mode. Use the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR to remove the noise lines. Then return to Still mode.
