Additional Information

In manual recording, Timer recording, Instant Timer Recording, playback, or fast forward modes, the Combi Receiver automatically starts rewinding the tape at the end of the tape. The cassette will stop at the beginning of the tape and be ejected, and the Home Theater System will turn itself off.

After you have finished using the Home Theater System, rewind, eject, and remove the cassette. Place the cassette in its protective sleeve to protect it from dust. It is not necessary to rewind the cassette before removing it, but if you do, it will be ready to play or record the next time you use it.

Be sure the Home Theater System Channel Selector is on the correct channel you wish to record. The channel that is being recorded can always be checked by tuning the television to the Home Theater System channel (3 or

4)and using the TV/VCR selector to turn the Combi Receiver’s TV indicator off.

Do not attempt to hook up more than one television set to the Home Theater System for either recording or playback.
