Automatic Operation Features 51

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on automatically. 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, REWINDPOWER 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 cassette.

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

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The VCR continually adjusts tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture by adjusting the tracking manually (see below).

Manual Tracking Adjustment

Press the CH(annel) 8/9 buttons to remove jitter in a still picture.

The CH(annel) 8/9 buttons adjust tracking during normal tape playback and slow motion picture.

To return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment, press the CH(annel)

8/9 buttons on the VCR at the same time except during still picture mode.

The VCR returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment whenever a tape is inserted.
