Using Basic Playback Controls

panel.

Fast forwarding a tape

panel.

Speed Search with picture

While the tape is playing, press FF for forward speed search with picture or
press REW for reverse speed search. See page 40 for additional information on
searching techniques.

Pausing a tape

While the tape is playing, press PAUSE on the remote control or on the front
panel to freeze the picture on the screen.
Press PAUSE a second time to return to normal play.
If you leave the VCR in pause for more than 5 minutes, the VCR will
automatically stop to prevent damage to the tape.

Controlling Vibration During Still Frame

If the picture vibrates during still frame, press the CHANNEL ª or º on the
front panel until the picture is steady.
Unloading a Tape
1Press EJECT on the front panel or on the remote control. If the VCR
POWER is off, the VCR will turn on, eject the tape, then turn off.
2Remove the tape.

Using repaired tapes

We recommend that you take any broken or torn tapes to a professional for repair. If
you repair a torn tape with improper materials, you could damage your VCR when you
play the tape.

Head cleaning

Your VCR automatically cleans the head and the drum of the VCR whenever
you load a tape. If you see “noise” or snow when playing a tape, eject the tape,
re-load the tape, then wait 3 or 4 seconds. Repeat this process several times to
improve the picture.
