VIEWING TV ONLY
You do not need to disconnect the VCR from the TV in
order to watch a TV program without recording it.
1
Turn off the VCR.
2
Turn on the TV and set it to the channel you want to
watch.
PLAYING A RENTAL TAPE
When you load a cassette with the safety tab removed,
the VCR starts playing it automatically.
œ
Turn on the TV.
œ
Set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
This VCR features full automatic playback and rewind.
Load a cassette (with the safety tab removed).
œ
The power turns on automatically and playback begins.
œ
At the end of the tape, the VCR stops, then rewinds.
œ
The cassette is ejected after rewinding.
Playback of Copyguarded Tapes
Some prerecorded tapes employ a copyguard system
that may cause intermittent distortion in the upper portion
of the picture during playback. (This distortion is more
likely to be visible on an older TV.) If you experience this
problem, do the following:
1
Select a TV station with a strong, clear signal.
2
Record a brief segment of that station’s programming.
3
Play back the recording.
If the playback picture is clear, the VCR is operating
properly. The distortion on the prerecorded tape is due to
the copyguard system.
Before starting
No safety tab
