Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on
automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will
begin.
Automatic Rewind
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the
VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, then stop. The VCR
will not rewind the tape if the end of the tape is reached during a
One-Touch Recording. Details are on page 30.
