Automatic Operation Features 39

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 you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, stop, eject the tape, then turn itself off.

If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind the tape 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. If REPEAT PLAY is set to ON, the VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself off. Playback will continue as set for Repeat Play.

Tape Eject

You can eject a tape with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR must be plugged in). If you have set a timer recording, you can only eject a tape with the VCR power on. Make sure you insert a tape and turn off the VCR power for the timer recording.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

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

Manual Tracking

To manually adjust the tracking during normal playback and slow motion playback, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR. (The CH(annel) o/p buttons on the remote control will not adjust tracking.)

Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you press the STOP/p button or insert a tape.

You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture. However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.
