Notes
• During playback, the VCR automatically detects the
recording system and the recording mode, SP
(Standard Play) or LP (Long Play), from the tape. EP
(Extended Play) mode recordings made on other
equipment will play, but picture quality is not
guaranteed.
• The counter resets to “0:00:00” whenever a tape is
reinserted.
• The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion
with no recording.
• When playback does not start even if you insert a tape
with its safety tab removed, set “VCR Function” –
“Auto Play” to “On” in the “Features” setup
(page 108).
• If you switch to the VCR while playing a disc, DVD
playback stops.
• If you play back a tape in LP or EP mode with the
NTSC system, the sound becomes monaural.
• For simultaneous VHS and DVD operation, see page 9.
