APPENDIX C - HELP-COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 65
“Sometimes the tape begins to play orrewind when I don’t want it to.”
This Dual-Deck VCR can automatically play a tape
(with no record safety tab in place) whenever you load
it, and it will automatically rewind the tape when it
reaches the end. AUTO PLAY/REWIND can be turned
on or off via the AUTO PLAY/REWIND selection in the
SET UP menu.
Also, when EZ COPY in the FEATURES menu is on,
both decks will automatically rewind before recording
when you start a copy tape procedure. This process can
be disabled by pushing the STOP key on Deck Two.
“My On-Screen Display has a messagethat says ERROR.”
This means the VCR has had difficulty with the tape
mechanism. To reset, turn the power off and then on
again. If this does not clear the error, unplug the VCR
from the wall outlet and inspect both tape slots for
foreign objects, or jammed or crooked tapes. If this
does not help, consult a service center.
“My VCR doesn’t work.”
A strong static electricity shock or other unforeseen
circumstances can cause the control system of your
Dual-Deck VCR to lock up. To reset the control system,
first unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for 20
seconds and plug it in again. If this doesn’t restore all
operations to normal, unplug it again for 15 minutes.
You will then need to reset the clock (if the clock is still
set, you haven’t unplugged it long enough). If these
steps do not correct the problem, the Dual-Deck VCR
must be serviced by an authorized service center.
“Why aren’t the Counters moving?”
If the VCR is playing an unrecorded or blank tape, the
counter cannot operate. The VCR relies on the control
track that is always recorded on to the video tape to
provide counter information.
