Basic Operations
To use the time counter
At the point on the tape that you want to find later, press COUNTER RESET.
The counter in the display window resets to “0H00M00S.” Search for the
point afterwards by referring to the counter.
Using the on-screen display
You can check the operating status of the player and the information about
the tape with the on-screen display on the TV screen.
Press DISPLAY.
Each time you press the button, the on-screen display changes as follows:
When AUTO DISPLAY is set to OFF under SET UP MENU in the menu
system, the on-screen display changes DISPLAY ON and OFF each time you
press DISPLAY.
Tip
• To change the output signal to LINE OUT to the VHS signal manually, press
OUTPUT SELECT VHS.
Notes
• The counter resets to “0H00M00S” whenever a tape is reinserted.
• The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This is due to the difference between the counting
cycles of the two video systems.
• Depending on your TV, the following may occur while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
– the picture is black and white
– the picture shakes
– no picture appears on the TV screen
– black streaks appear horizontally on the TV screen
– the colour density increases or decreases.
• When the KARAOKE (ON/OFF) switch is set to on, this player displays the
karaoke information (page 25).
• You need to press OUTPUT SELECT VHS button to select the VHS part before
playing when OUTPUT SEL is set to NORMAL under SET UP MENU in the menu
system.
