Playing a Tape

1.Turn TV and VCR on. If connected with RCA cable, set TV to video mode. If connected with RF cable, set TV to channel 3 or 4 and set VCR output to channel 3 or 4 in the MAIN MENU. (Refer to page 11.)

2.Load a video cassette tape. VCR power turns on automatically.

3.Press PLAY to start playback. If the tape doesn’t have a safety tab, VCR will play- back automatically. When playback starts, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking for clear picture and sound.

4.To stop playback, press STOP.

MANUAL TRACKING

For best picture quality, the VCR video head must be aligned with the recorded track on the

tape; this alignment is called tracking. Videocassettes recorded on other VCRs and videocassettes with copy protection may require some manual adjustment.

To adjust manually, press CH/TRK up or down as necessary until the best picture possible is achieved.

NOTE: Picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a tape. Let the tape play for a moment to see if the distortion clears. If manual tracking adjust- ments do not produce a clear picture, there may be a problem with the videotape.

Recording

2.Insert videocassette tape.

3.Press the MENU button on the remote control to access the on-screen menu. Use the SHIFT button to select the Record Speed function. Press the ENTER button to select the desired recording speed. Press MENU button to exit.

Note: Tape speed can be changed while recording; there may be minor distortion but no interruption.

5.Press REC; the REC button will light.

6.To pause recording, press STILL/SLOW. To resume recording, press REC.
