Tips
• You can eject a tape even
when the power is off.
When you press
6 EJECT,
the Video Cassette Player
turns on automatically.
After ejecting the tape, the
Video Cassette Player turns
off again.
• Adjust the picture using
TR/– on the
Video Cassette Player if:
– Streaks appear while
playing in slow motion.
– Bands appear on the top
or bottom while pausing.
– The picture shakes while
pausing.
• The CASSETTE indicator on
the front of the Video
Cassette Player lights in
green whenever the cassette
is inserted even when the
power is off.
Notes
• When the pause mode lasts
for more than about five
minutes, the Video Cassette
Player will automatically
enter the stop mode.
In pause mode, the
P
PAUSE button blinks.
• When the stop mode lasts
for more than about five
minutes, the VCP will
automatically turn off.
• The playback sound is
muted during various speed
playback modes except for
normal speed playback.
• Noise appears on the screen
while pausing as the VCP is
two-head type. Especially,
the pause mode picture of
the tape recorded in the SP
mode is not stable. This is
not a malfunction of this
VCP.
