program length.

8-Event/1 Year Smart Programming Permits pre-programming VCR for unattended recording of up to eight separate programs over a full 365-day period. No manual setting, adjusting, or programming of the calendar function is required.

Automatic Channel Setup Activating this feature allows the VCR tuner to scan through television frequencies, automatically storing every active broadcasting channel into memory. Subsequent scanning of TV channels through the VCR tuner will show only those active channels programmed into memory. Automatic channel preset can be repeated whenever desired, should new channels become available. Channels can be manually added

or deleted.

Front Panel Audio/Video Inputs Provide added convenience to the user when recording tapes directly from a camcorder to the VCR. In addition, accessory video equipment such as a video game or CD-i player can be connected for direct playthrough to the TV set.

Digital Auto Tracking System When tape playback begins, this feature automatically seeks the optimum tracking position in the tracking range, and the optimum audio signal tracking position for for clearest picture and sound from videotapes. Controls are provided on the remote transmitter to give the user manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

181-Channel FS Tuning The Digital Quartz tuner in the Magnavox VCR is capable of receiving up to 181 channels, including UHF, VHF, and 113 cable channels, without the inconvenience and expense of a cable company decoder/converter on non-scrambled cable systems. Channel tuning is by random access with the remote control transmitter, with instantaneous tuning of any available channel, or scan tuning up and down by remote or at

the set.

Timer/Programmer Backup System

Retains timer programming information for up to three full minutes in the event of momentary power interruptions.

Remote Control On-Screen Menu Programming Allows VCR programming by remote control for unattended recording, with programming instructions on-screen for visual verification. On-screen menus lead the user through normal, daily, or weekly programming by program number, channel to be recorded, start and stop times, speed, and date of recording by day, month, and year. Pushing the “clear” button allows user to go back and reprogram over mistakes, and pushing the “menu” button at the end of programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.

Quick Start Mechanism Switches the tape mechanism from Stop to Play in only one second, instead of the approximately 5 1/4 seconds of older models.

Channel Search When set in the “tuner” mode with the Channel Search button on the remote transmitter pressed, the tuner will automatically begin scanning through all channels programmed into memory, showing the programming on each channel briefly. When the desired channel is reached, a second touch of the button stops the Search operation. If the scan is not stopped, the tuner will go through all available channels, then return to the channel originally tuned and stop.

Clock/Function Display Continuously alerts the user to all important recording and playback conditions, correct time, counter position, tape speed, channel number, etc. When the VCR is turned off, the time display automatically dims, to make it less distracting.
