52 Automatic Operation Features
The following playback features will always operate.
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come
on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback
will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not
come on automatically when you insert a tape with the
record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR
power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record
tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end,
the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and
eject the tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the
TV/VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the
real-time counter is set to zero. In this case, the TV/VCR
will not turn itself off or eject the tape.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off
(but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is
programmed, a tape cannot be ejected when the power is
off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be
sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the
timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you
the best possible picture quality. With some recordings,
however, you may get a better picture using the manual
tracking controls (see below).
Manual Tracking
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL
o
/
p
buttons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING /
buttons
on the remote control during playback. Your picture will
improve similar to the example below.
Automatic Tracking resumes when a tape is inserted or
when the STOP/
p
button is pressed.
