Automatic Operation Features 37
The following playback features will always operate.
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the tape.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed, a tape cannot be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).
Manual Tracking
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL ▲/▼ buttons on the TV/VCR or the CH(annel) ▲/▼ button on the remote control during playback.
Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape is inserted or when the STOP/▼ button is pressed.
