Viewfinder Playback

Viewfinder playback is the simplest way to watch tapes using the camcorder.

To Play Back a Tape

1.Place POWER switch in VCR. The power indicator will light.

2.Slide EJECT and insert the cassette you want to play back. Close the cassette compartment.

3.Press PLAY/PAUSE to begin playback. If necessary, adjust tracking.

During playback, use the playback features.

4.Press STOP when you are finished.

Visual Searching

During playback, press and release FF or REW if you want to search the tape visually in forward or reverse.

Press PLAY/PAUSE on the camcorder (or PLAY on the remote) to return to normal playback.

For brief searching, press and hold FF or REW for more than two seconds.

Release the button to return to normal playback.

Stop-Action Pause

During playback, press PLAY/PAUSE on the camcorder (or PAUSE on the remote) to “stop the action” and view one frame of the tape.

Caution: Pause is designed for momentary interruptions and should not be used for an extended period of time. If the camcorder remains in pause for more than five minutes, it will automatically enter the stop mode and then turn off to prevent excessive tape wear.

Press PLAY/PAUSE on the camcorder (or PLAY on the remote) to return to normal playback.

Tracking

During playback, streaks may appear in the playback picture. Press either TRACKING button to move the streaks up or down and out of the picture.

During stop-action playback, pressing one TRACKING button may reduce picture “jitter” (picture bouncing up and down). Some “jitter” is normal.

Simultaneously press both TRACKING buttons to return tracking to its preset center.

Note: The TRACKING buttons may have no effect on tapes recorded on other camcorders or VCRs.
