•Operation of the VCR is automatic whenever this is feasible.
•Automatic recording functions (Timer and XPR) will not disturb normal TV viewing.
•If you run out of tape during playback or normal
recording, the VCR rewinds it and stops
automatically. If tape runs out during Timer or Express Recording, the VCR stops without rewinding.
•Because of these features, the functions of some
control buttons depend on the condition of the VCR at the time they are used.
