Auto Head Cleaning System
When the tape is inserted or ejected, this system automatically cleans the drum and heads with a special

picture quality.
Quick Start with Full Loading Mechanism
Your VCR has a standby function (Full Loading Mechanism) to allow immediate recording and playback.
After pressing REC or
PLAY/XS,
it takes about 2 seconds until recording or playback is engaged when in the
standby mode.
Auto Rental Mode
(This function only works when AUTO RENTAL mode on the MODE selection screen is set to ON.)
The convenient auto rental mode lets you enjoy playback with ease. When you insert a cassette with the
erasure protection tab removed (rental videos, etc.), your VCR automatically turns on the power, winds the
tape forward to find the recorded section, and plays back the tape. When the tape reaches the end of
recorded section, the VCR automatically rewinds the tape, ejects it and turns into POWER STANDBY mode.
l If there is more than a 15 second unrecorded section between recorded sections, the tape will automatically stop and
rewind. To watch the next recorded section, press STOP fast forward to that section and play the tape.
l If the erasure protection hole is covered, press
PLAY/x2
after the power turns on automatically. (Auto Rental Mode does
not work.)
l If Auto Rental and Repeat (Auto Repeat) modes on the MODE selection are set to ON simultaneously, Auto Rental will not
function. (if thls happens, set Repeat (Auto Repeat) mode to OFF.)
*The
AUTO REPEAT mode has priority over the AUTO RENTAL mode. If the AUTO REPEAT mode is set to ON and the
video cassette reaches its end, the VCR will rewind the tape and play it back again without ejecting the tape or turning
into POWER STANDBY mode
