VCR BASICS

The VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of the tape during playback. While rewinding, you can press POWER and the VCR will turn off after rewinding.

TAPE EJECT

Press STOP•EJECT on the VCR (STOP on remote) when it is stopped to eject the tape. A tape can be ejected even when the VCR is off.

RECORDING

If you want to record something that you’re watching, you can use basic recording.

1.Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote.

2.Press the RECORD button (REC on the remote) to begin recording.

3.Press STOP to stop recording.

If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (such as during a commercial), press PAUSE instead of STOP.

CHECK THE SAFETY TAB

No matter which recording option you use, you need to make sure there is a tape in the VCR, and that the tape’s safety tab is in place. You cannot record on a tape with the safety tab removed.

Safety Tab

If the safety tab is removed and you want to record over it, simply cover the hole with vinyl tape.

Tape Speeds

Your VCR is capable of playing back tapes recorded in LP. You cannot record in the LP speed.

SLP (Super Long Play)

Gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects such as pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame advance work well when you play back tapes recorded in this speed.
