Record Safety Tab

NOTE:

Your remote control has one set of keys to control both decks. If you have difficulty operating a deck, check to be sure the Deck Select is set to the deck you want to operate. The red LED indicates Deck Two is selected; the green LED indicates Deck One is selected.

Playing a Tape

Playing a tape on your Dual-Deck VCR is simple:

1. Insert a tape into either deck of your VCR. If the

 

tape is a play- only tape (it has no record safety

 

tab) and AUTO PLAY/REWIND in the SETUP

 

menu is set to PLAY or BOTH, it will automati-

 

cally begin to play when inserted. Control will

 

automatically switch to that deck; you don’t need

 

to do it manually. Also, when the tape is finished

 

playing, it will automatically rewind if AUTO/

 

PLAY REWIND in the SETUP menu is set to

 

REWIND or BOTH.

 

Note: If you have set the AUTO PLAY/

 

REWIND item in the SETUP menu

 

to OFF or REW, press PLAY to begin

 

playing the tape; if you have the item

 

set to OFF or PLAY, press REW to

 

rewind the tape.

2.

Press STOP to stop the playback altogether.

Special Playback Functions

With your Dual-Deck VCR, the playback function is not limited to simply playing tapes:

Watch a tape while recording another tape — you can record a program on Deck Two and watch a tape play on Deck One simply by starting the recording as you normally would in Deck Two, and then play a tape in Deck One.

You can pause the tape for a stop action picture (Play Still), or play a tape in slow motion or search a tape frame-by-frame (Frame Advance).* (See ‘PAUSE’ page 13.) The audio will mute during these functions.

You can adjust tracking automatically or manually; you can also adjust playback picture sharpness.

You can play Deck One and Deck Two in automatic sequence (Sequential Play) and even play one deck and then the other, back and forth in automatic rotation (Loop Play).
