cTo stop, press the STOP hbutton.
dTo eject the cassette, press ?onthe front of the
TV-Video Combi while it is in Stop mode.
You may also use the STOP hbutton on the remote
control for more than 3 seconds.
DBefore transportation, make sure that there is no
cassette in the TV-Video Combi.
DSome hired cassettes may have poor picture or
sound quality. This is not a fault in your machine.
Please read the section ’Selecting the picture
settings (SMART PICTURE)’, or ’Eliminating picture
interference (Tracking)’.
DSome functions will automatically switch off after a
while (e.g.: pause, still picture, picture search). This
helps to protect the cassette and avoids wasting
power.
DDuring playback, the machine will automatically
switch between the speeds ’LP/SP’. Please read the
section ’Selecting the recording speed (SP/LP)’ in
the chapter ’MANUAL RECORDING’.

Playing NTSC cassettes

With this TV-Video Combi you can playback cassettes that
have been recorded in NTSC standard on other video
recorders (e.g. American cassettes).
DDuring NTSC playback, ’NTSC’ will briefly appear on
the screen.
DSome special functions (e.g.: still picture) are not
possible during NTSC playback.

Tape position indication

By pressing OK youcan show the present tape position on
the TV screen. You can read the elapsed playing time in hours
and minutes.
DThe length of the inserted cassette is automatically
detected. When you put in a new cassette the video
recorder must first calculate the playing time.
Therefore, ’-:--’ appears first and only after the tape
has been running for a few seconds the playing time
will be shown.
DDuring NTSC playback, the cassette length cannot
be detected automatically. Therefore, only the
playing time since the insertion of the cassette is
displayed.
* You can reset the counter to ’0:00:00’ using the
CLEAR(CL) button.
*If there is an empty space on the tape, the counter
will stop.
* If you rewind an NTSC cassette starting at the
’0:00:00’ position, the counter will show:
’-0:01:20’. (rewound 1 minute 20 seconds from
the ’0:00:00’ position).
