Your Dual-Deck VCR has a number of automatic features that simplify tape
viewing.
Auto Dimmer
- The Dual-Deck VCR front panel fluorescent display will
dim between the hours of 10:00PM and 6:00AM.
Auto Play
- When a tape with no record safety tab is inserted into either
deck, your Dual-Deck VCR begins playing the tape. The
TV View
switches to that deck. If a tape is already playing in the other deck, it
will continue to play. You can view either deck. You can turn Auto
Play on or off in the
Video Menu

OFF
. See page 26.
Auto Power Off

performing a

button and your
Dual-Deck VCR will turn off when the rewind, event or OTR is
complete. The

indicator will blink while this mode is active.
Pressing

, etc.)
will cancel Auto Power Off.
Auto Power On

deck. The

page 26.
Auto Stop
- Your Dual-Deck VCR will stop if a deck is left in
Record
Pause
for more than 5 minutes, and will begin playing again if left in
Play Still
for more than 5 minutes. This prevents excessive tape
wear.
Memory Stop

Fail-Safe Timer Record
- Your Dual-Deck VCR contains Enhanced
AmeriChrome Circuitry which prevents errors while programming the
timer. If a potential problem is detected in a timer event the
Dual-Deck VCR warns you with an
On-Screen Display
message that is
easy to understand. If the power fails the Dual-Deck VCR maintains all
of the timer settings so all you have to do is reset the clock when the
power is restored and the timer event(s) will automatically update.
