Programming & Record/Playback Features

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound with Built-In MTS/SAP Decoder

Record stereo videotapes from stereo sound sources and playback pre- recorded hi-fi stereo tapes in hi-fi stereo sound–with an excellent 90dB+ dynamic range–through a stereo-equipped TV or regular TV and stereo hi-fi home audio system.The built-in MTS/SAP decoder allows reception and recording of off-air television stereo broadcasts and second audio program transmissions, where available. Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is disconnected from its power source.

Auto Satellite Link™

If you own a satellite dish, this is the feature you’ve been waiting for. Set your DBS receiver to turn on and tune in to a specific program and it will automatically turn on the VCR in the record mode and then turn off when the DBS receiver turns off.The secret is in the A/V input jack panel. It senses the presence of a video signal…and the rest is history.
