Playback Functions

Note:

The difference between Play Still and Stop is that during Play Still, the tape remains engaged to the play mechanism, and you will see a picture. If you Stop the deck, the tape disengages from the play mechanism.

Play Still is the same as Record Pause (you press PAUSE to enter both modes). We call it Play Still because the picture freezes, or becomes still, on your TV screen.

Note:

The On Screen Display is not available during Special Playback Modes.

With your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR, the playback function is not limited to simply playing tapes. You can pause the tape for a stop action picture (Play Still). You can play tapes at Double-Speedor in Slow Motion (VHS only). You can search a tape at high speed in forward or reverse with Picture Scan and Jet Search (VHS only). You can advance the tape frame-by-frame (Frame Advance -VHS only). You can adjust tracking automatically or manually (VHS only). The audio will mute during these functions. You can play the 8mm deck and the VHS deck in automatic sequence (Se- quential Play), and even play one deck, then the other, back and forth in automatic rotation (Loop Play).
