Programming & Record/Playback Features

VCR Plus+™ Programming

Simplifies VCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode® programming numbers found in many published television listings. When recording begins, your VCR automatically selects the proper TV channel and program length. Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is disconnected from its power source.

One-Touch Record

Record up to 8 hours or to the end of the tape with the touch of a sin- gle button. Each touch of the OTR button adds 30 minutes of additional recording time.

8-Event/1-Year Smart Programming

Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 8 separate pro- grams over a full 365-day period. No manual setting, adjusting, or pro- gramming of the calendar function is required.

Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming

Program by remote control for unattended recording, with programming instructions onscreen for visual verification. Onscreen menus lead you through normal, daily, or weekly programming by program number, channel to be recorded, start and stop times, speed, and date of record- ing by day, month, and year. Pressing the CLEAR button lets you go back and reprogram over mistakes, and pressing the MENU button at the end of programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.

Picture

4-Head, Double Azimuth Design

Combines direct drive cylinder and capstan motors with precision digital servo control to produce excellent special effects reproduction in Still and Slow modes in both SP and SLP speeds.

Digital Auto Tracking System

When tape playback begins, this feature automatically seeks the optimum tracking position in the tracking range, and the optimum audio signal track- ing position for clearest picture and sound. Buttons on the remote trans- mitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

Auto Head Cleaner

Gently, automatically cleans the video heads each time a tape is inserted or removed to maintain optimum picture performance during both recording and playback.

Convenience

Daylight Savings Timer

This menu-driven feature automatically compensates for Daylight Savings Time changes in early April and late October so you don’t have to reset the clock twice a year. Simply activate the Daylight Savings Time option in the Set Clock menu and forget it!

Automatic Channel Setup

The VCR tuner scans through television frequencies, automatically storing active broadcast channel into memory. Then, only active chan- nels programmed into memory are tuned using the CHANNEL ▲ ▼ buttons on either the remote or front panel of the VCR. Automatic chan- nel

preset can be repeated whenever desired, should new channels become available. Channels can be manually added or deleted.
