Convenient Features

28

This VCR is equipped with a number of convenient features that will enhance your enjoyment of videos.

Auto Memory Power Shut-off

When you start rewinding the tape from stop mode, press OPERATE once.
When the rewinding is complete, the power will be turned off automatically. If you
press any of the control buttons (OPERATE, PLAY, REW, FF, etc.) a second time,
the auto memory power shut-off function will be cancelled.

Child Lock Function

If the child lock function is engaged, all buttons except STOP and EJECT on the
VCR become inoperative.
The indicator SAFE will appear on the TV screen.

NOTE:
In child lock mode, all the buttons on the remote control can be used to operate the VCR. Therefore it is recom-
mended to put the remote control unit aside from the VCR to avoid any accidental operation by the children.
To cancel the child lock function, press CHILD LOCK button again.

Tape Counter

The tape counter shows you the relative positions of programmes on a tape. If you
set the counter to 0:00:00, you can see the counter reading from 0:00:00 during
playback or recording or searching. This feature makes it easier for you to find the
programme or to find a portion of the tape. To set the counter to 0:00:00, press
CLEAR.

The counter displays the travelling time of the tape in hours, minutes and seconds.
