Automatic Operation Features 43

VCR

The following tape playback features are available in VCR mode. (Press

OUTPUT SELECT so the green VIDEO light is on, if necessary.)

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the DVD/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set and the TIMER light is flashing, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.

If a timer recording is set and the TIMER light is flashing, the DVD/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the DVD/VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, stop, then eject the tape. If REPEAT PLAY is ON, the DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automatically. The tape will begin to play again. Details are on page 39.

If the real-time tape counter memory is set, the DVD/VCR will only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automati- cally. Details are on page 40.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the DVD/VCR power on or off (but the DVD/VCR must be plugged in).

If a timer recording is set and the TIMER light is on, the tape can- not be ejected. To eject the tape, you must first press TIMER SET (or TIMER on the DVD/VCR) to cancel the timer recording, then press STOP/EJECT to remove the tape.To reset the timer record- ing, insert a tape, then press TIMER SET (or TIMER on the DVD/VCR).

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The DVD/VCR 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 manually adjust the tracking during normal playback and slow motion playback of a video cassette, press CHANNEL o/p on the DVD/VCR. (CHANNEL/SKIP j/i (p/o) on the remote control will not adjust tracking.)

Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you press STOP C (p) or insert a tape.

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