42 Automatic Operation Features
The following playback features will always operate.
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, the power will not come on automati- cally when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.
If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape, stop, eject the tape, then turn itself off.
If the
Tape Eject
You can eject a tape with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR power cord must be plugged in). If a timer recording is set, you can eject a tape only with the power on. Make sure you insert a tape and turn off the VCR power for the timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The VCR adjusts tracking automatically 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 manually adjust the tracking during playback and slow motion playback, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR. (The CH(annel) o/p buttons on the remote control will not adjust tracking.)
Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you press the STOP/p button or insert a tape.
You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture. However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.
