VCR Basics
Now that you’ve finished the initial setup, you can watch TV or start using the VCR part of your product.

If the safety tab on the videotape is removed, the tape automatically begins playback.
2.Press the VCR button on the remote to put the remote in VCR mode.
•Press FORWARD or REVERSE on the remote to advance the tape forwards or backwards respectively.
•Press PLAY (if necessary) to begin playing the tape.

The VCR automatically rewinds the tape when it reaches the end of the tape during playback. While rewinding, you can press the ON•OFF button on the remote and the VCR ejects the tape and turns off after rewinding.
Basic Recording

2.Make sure the remote is in VCR mode by pressing the VCR button.
3.Press RECORD to begin recording. The RECORD indicator on the front panel lights.
4.Press STOP when you want to stop recording.
