reached during playback or search?

and ejects the cassette, then enters the standby
mode automatically.

still mode?

to protect the heads.

frame playback, I can’t hear any audio.

search to normal playback, the picture is
disturbed. Should I be concerned about
this?

search. What’s the problem?

RECORDING
Q: When I pause and then resume a
recording, the end of the recording before
the pause is overlapped by the beginning of
the continuation of recording. Why does
this happen?

pause and resume points.
Q: Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the
Record-Pause mode?
A: No. It stops automatically after 5minutes
to protect the heads.

during recording?

and ejects the cassette, then enters the standby
mode automatically.
TIMER RECORDING
Q: The timer indicator and the standby/
record indicator remain lit on the display
panel. Is there a problem?
A: No. This is a normal condition for a timer
recording in progress.
Q: Can I programme the timer while I’m
watching a tape or a TV broadcast?
A: You won’t see the picture as it is replaced
by the on-screen menu, but the audio from
the program or tape you’re viewing can be
heard.
