Automatic Operation Features 51

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.

Automatic Rewind

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, then stop. The VCR will not rewind the tape if the end of the tape is reached during a One-Touch Recording. Details are on page 30.

Memory Rewind, Power Off

When the POWER button is pressed while the VCR is rewinding a tape, REWIND→POWER OFF will appear on the screen. When the tape has finished rewinding, the VCR will stop, then turn 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, the r and Cassette-Inside lights will flash on the VCR’s display panel after you eject a tape with the VCR power turned off.

Counter Reset

The real-time counter will reset to 0:00:00 when you insert a cas- sette.

To reset the real-time counter to 0:00:00 at anytime, press the CLEAR button on the remote control.
