RECORDING/PLAYBACK ON VHS DECK (cont.)

Repeat Playback

Your recorder can automatically play back the whole tape 100 times repeatedly.

1Start playback.

Press 4.

2Activate Repeat Playback.

Press 4 and hold for over 5 seconds, then release.

The Play indicator (4) on the front display panel blinks slowly.

After playing back a tape 100 times, the recorder stops automatically.

3Stop Repeat Playback.

Press 8 at any time.

Pressing 4, 3, 5 or 9 also stops Repeat Playback.

NTSC Playback

Your video recorder is equipped with NTSC circuitry that can play back NTSC tapes.

1Load a cassette.

Insert a cassette recorded in NTSC.

2Start playback.

Press 4.

“NTSCPAL” appears on the screen for about 5 seconds.

NOTES:

Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.

The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)

The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.

During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.

Index Search

Your recorder automatically marks index codes at the beginning of each recording. This function gives you quick access to any one of 9 index codes in either direction.

NOTE:

Before starting, make sure the recorder is in the Stop mode.

Activate Index Search.

Press w or e (2 or 6). “2 1” or “6 1” is displayed on the TV screen and search begins in the corresponding direction.

To access index codes 2 through 9, press w or e repeatedly until the correct index number is displayed.

Example:

To locate the beginning of B from the current position, press w twice.

To locate the beginning of D from the current position, press e once.
