Helpful Hints

If the tape you want to play is already in the TV/VCR/DVD, turn on the power. Press SELECT to choose TV/VCR mode (the red VCR/TV light will be on), then press PLAY B.

When you play an S-VHS format tape, you cannot get the high resolution that would be avail- able on an S-VHS VCR. Noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear in the picture.

If you press SELECT while play- ing a videotape, play will stop and the unit will switch to DVD mode. This will happen also if you press PLAY B(DVD) or OPEN/CLOSE A(DVD) on the front of the TV/VCR/DVD during videotape playback.
