Basic VCR Operations
• Depending on your TV, the
following may occur while
playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
– The picture is played back
in black and white.
– The picture shakes.
– No picture appears on the
TV screen.
– Black horizontal streaks
appear on the TV screen.
– The colour density
increases or decreases.
• If you play back a tape in
LP or EP mode with the
NTSC system, the sound is
monaural.
• The counter stops counting
when it comes to an
unrecorded portion.
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.” To
rewind or fast-forward to the “0H00M00S” point, press TAPE RETURN
on the unit.
To display the time counter on the TV screen, press DISPLAY.
To change the information in the display window
Press STATUS repeatedly.
Each press changes the indication in the following way:

To mute the sound
