Notes

•During playback, the VCR automatically detects the recording system and the recording mode, SP (Standard Play) or LP (Long Play), from the tape. EP (Extended Play) mode recordings made on other equipment will play, but picture quality is not guaranteed.

•The counter resets to “0:00:00” whenever a tape is reinserted.

•The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.

•When playback does not start even if you insert a tape with its safety tab removed, set “VCR Function” – “Auto Play” to “On” in the “Features” setup

(page 108).

•If you switch to the VCR while playing a disc, DVD playback stops.

•If you play back a tape in LP or EP mode with the NTSC system, the sound becomes monaural.

•For simultaneous VHS and DVD operation, see page 9.
