Philips VR969/05 Playing a Recorded Cassette, VHS or VHS Playback, Fast forward wind and rewind

4. PLAYING A RECORDED CASSETTE

In chapter 2, you have learned how to connect the video recorder to the TV set. When this is done, play- back of a cassette is very easy.

If you wish to record first, go to chapter 5.

!Switch the video recorder and the TV set on. When starting play on the video recorder, many TV sets switch automatically to the programme posi- tion prepared for video playback.

With the "Easy Link" function, your TV set is even automatically switched on from standby.

But this will only function if the video recorder is connected via a Scart cable to the TV. Otherwise, select the programme position intended for video playback on the TV set.

"Insert the cassette into the cassette compartment.

¤Press the ebutton. The display indicates " e".

$If you wish to stop play, press the rbutton. The display indicates "I I".

%To remove the cassette, press the Vbutton on the video recorder.

S-VHS or VHS Playback

The video recorder automatically recognises the correct cassette format (VHS or S-VHS) during playback.

When S-VHS recordings are played back, the symbol "S-VHS" will appear in the display.

*Some functions are switched off automatically after a certain time (e.g., pause, slow motion, still picture, picture search). This is to avoid unnecessary cassette wear and energy consumption.
