Automatic Playback Features 37
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on auto- matically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. (If a timer recording is set, you may have to press the POWER but- ton to turn on the VCR. Make sure you turn off the VCR for the timer recording later. If you insert a tape without a record tab when a timer recording is set, 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
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, 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 possi- ble picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better 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 control to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.
