NORMAL PLAYBACK

Make sure . . .

Power must be turned on.

1 Insert a prerecorded tape

If the erase-protection tab has been removed, the
TV/VCR will start playback automatically.

2 To begin playback

Press PLAY button.

3 To stop playback

Press STOP button when
playback is completed.

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

Tracking adjustment will be set automatically
(Digital Tracking function) when you start playback.
When playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorder
on units other than your own, noise lines (black and
white streaks) may appear on the playback picture. If
this occurs, adjust the tracking control by pressing
C/P     or     button until the streaks disappear. To
return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and
start playback again.

PICTURE SEARCH

This feature is 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 F.FWD or
    REW button.

NOTE:

 When searching a pre-recorded tape, it may.

cause a noise bar on the TV screen and the picture
may revert to Black and White. This is normal.
2) For normal speed, simply press PLAY button.

STILL PICTURE 

You can view a still picture on the screen during
playback (the Still mode). Press PAUSE/STILL button
during playback.
Press PLAY button to return to playback.

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

This is not a fault of the machine but merely a
by-product of the technology involved in
producing a TV/VCR with LP mode.

If it is left in the Pause mode for more than five
minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to
the Stop mode.

NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode)

This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise
lines of a still picture.
Press PAUSE/STILL button repeatedly so that the noise
lines change position on the screen and you can see the
picture in its entirety without distracting noise lines.
NOTE: If you use the PAUSE/STILL button to freeze
the picture during playback, the still picture may, in
addition to the "noise bars", revert to black and white.
This is normal.
