Automatic Playback Features 37

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on automati- cally. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. (If a timer recording is set, you may have to press the POWER button to turn on the VCR. Make sure you turn off the VCR for the timer record- ing later. If you insert a tape without a record tab when the power is off to set a timer recording, the VCR will eject the tape.)

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, eject the tape, and turn itself off.

If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The VCR will not eject the tape or shut itself off.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR must be plugged in). If a Timer Recording is programmed or has just finished, a tape can only be ejected with the power on. Be sure to insert a tape for the Timer Recording, then turn off the VCR power.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The VCR automatically adjusts tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a bet- ter picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL (o/p) but- tons on the VCR during playback.

NOTES:

•Tracking is returned to automatic tracking adjustment when a tape is inserted or when the STOP button is pressed to halt playback.

•Manual tracking will not operate when the VCR is in Still mode.

•Use the CHANNEL (o/p) buttons on the VCR or on the remote con- trol to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.
