RECORDING CHECK FUNCTION

When the VCR is recording, press the PLAY button for more than 1.5 seconds and then release. The tape will be rewound a little and then playback the recording just made. When the tape reaches the position where the PLAY button was pressed, the VCR returns to record mode.

N

•Normal sound is played back only when a tape recorded in 3H, L12H and L24H mode is played back in their respective mode.

LOCK MODE

When the lock button is pressed with a ballpoint pen or a pencil, the control buttons will not operate and the VCR is kept in the current mode. To release the lock mode, press the lock button again.
