PICTURE SEARCH

This feature is very useful in finding or skipping over a particular scene on a tape. In this mode, the sound will be muted.

1)You may view a video tape at a high speed in either a forward or reverse direction by pressing the F.FWD or REW button during playback. (in the SP / LP / SLP modes)

2)Press it again and the TV/VCR will now search in super high speed. (in the LP / SLP modes only) NOTE: Tapes recorded in the SP or LP mode will display a noise bar on the TV screen and the pic- ture may revert to Black and White. This is normal.

3)Press the PLAY button to return to normal speed.

Time Search can be set up to a maximum of 9 hours 50 minutes (9:50) by 10 minutes at a time.

STILL PICTURE

You can view a still picture on the TV screen during playback (the Still mode). Press the PAUSE/STILL button during playback. Only tapes recorded in the SLP mode will show the least amount of lines. Press the PLAY button to return to playback.

NOTES:

Usually there will be video “noise” lines (black and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is normal.

If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP mode, the still picture will be black and white in addition to the “noise” lines.

This is not a fault of the machine, but is a by- product of the technology involved in producing a TV/VCR with 2 video heads.

If it is left in the Still mode for more than five min- utes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to the Stop mode.
