RCA VR704HF manual Tracking, PRO-TECT Plus Locking Feature, Time Counter, Locking Your VCR

OTHER FEATURES

TRACKING

Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes interference like streaks or “snow” from the picture. Automatic tracking is automatically activated when you insert a tape or turn on the VCR. Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a different VCR. Just use the TRACKING buttons to reduce the distortion. You can also use tracking when you pause a tape to reduce jittering of the picture.

When you manually adjust the picture, automatic tracking is turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on, press both TRACKING buttons on the front of the VCR at the same time, or eject the tape and re-insert it. Tracking has no effect during recording– only playback.

PRO-TECT PLUS™ LOCKING FEATURE

To disable the usage of the VCR, or to protect your timer recordings, you can lock the VCR so that the buttons on the VCR or remote won’t work.

•To Lock: Press and hold the VCR button on the remote for approximately six seconds. SAFE appears.

•To Unlock: Press and hold the VCR button on the remote for approximately six seconds.

TIME COUNTER

The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from the VCR.

For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of that program to begin another recording, you would:

1.Press INFO twice to display only the time counter.

2.Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.

Locking Your VCR

If a timer recording is programmed, make sure your VCR is turned off. Locking your VCR prevents the VCR from being accidentally turned on.
