TV /DBS

This VCR can check the tape condition during playback (and recording), and realize the best possible pictures.

•This VCR can play back tapes that have been recorded in D-VHS (MTP), S-VHS, S-VHS ET and VHS formats and automatically identifies the recording format.

•When you play back a tape recorded on this VCR, you can use the Video Navigation function (A page 51).

A Load a cassette

Make sure the window side is up, the rear label side is facing you and the arrow on the front of the cassette is pointing towards the VCR.

Do not apply too much pressure when inserting.

•The VCR turns on automatically.

•The tape will run for a few seconds while the VCR searches for the tape number. If the tape number is found, it will be shown on the TV screen if “SUPERIMPOSE” is set to “ON”. (A page 66)

•The counter is reset automatically, however, it is not completely reset to “0:00:00”.

•If the cassette’s record safety tab has been removed, playback begins automatically.
