Notes
• During playback, the VCR automatically detects the
recording system (S-VHS/VHS) and the recording
mode (SP or EP) from the tape. LP 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.
• The counter resets to “0:00:00” after ten hours, and
starts recounting.
• When playback does not start even if you insert a tape
with its safety tab removed, set “VCR Function” –
“Auto Play” of “Features” to “On” in the “Setup”
display (page 105).
• If you switch to the VCR while playing a disc, DVD
playback stops.
• The VCR does not record in S-VHS format, but will
play S-VHS tapes by automatically detecting the
format, but picture quality will be lower than usual S-
VHS. Image may be unclear if playback options such
as slow-motion, etc., are used.
• Playback of S-VHS tapes recorded in EP (3x) mode is
not guaranteed.
• The VCR is not compatible with the PAL or SECAM
color system. Only NTSC tapes can be played.
• For simultaneous VHS and DVD operation, see page 9.
