52 Automatic Operation Features

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, stop, 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.

Memory Rewind, Power Off

When the POWER button is pressed while the VCR is rewinding a tape, the VCR will turn itself off when it has finished rewinding. REWIND → POWER OFF will appear on-screen.

If a real time counter memory is set, the VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the real time counter was set to zero, then stop and turn 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 and turn off the VCR power for the Timer Recording.
