When you are done watching a video, you can rewind the tape automatically
or manually. If the video cassette reaches the end of the tape, the VCR will
stop and automatically rewinds the video cassette. If you press POWER
while the tape is rewinding, the power will shut off automatically after the
tape has completely rewound.
Manual Rewind
Press STOP and REW. The VCR rewinds the tape all the way to the
beginning, then stops. Press STOP/EJECT on the VCR to release the tape.
Movie Return
If your videocassette has the safety tab removed and you set the MOVIE
function to ON during initial setup, the VCR will stop and automatically
rewind the videocassette, eject it, and turn off the power when it reaches the
end of the tape or a blank section of tape which lasts for more than 30
seconds.
This function works only in PLAYBACK mode, not in RECORDING mode.
Special Playback Effects
Still Playback (Pause)
Press PAUSE to still the tape during play. The picture will "freeze". You
may see some minor noise or interference on the screen. This is normal.
After 5 minutes in PAUSE mode, the VCR automatically switches to STOP
mode to protect the tape.
If noise bars appear on the TV screen during PAUSE mode, first set the VCR
to SLOW mode and then press the 1 or 4 button on the remote control to
minimize the noise bars.
If the screen jitters during PAUSE, press either 1 or 4 button to minimize it.
To resume play, press PLAY or PAUSE again.
Frame Advance
While in PAUSE mode during playback, press 9 button to view the video one
frame at a time. Press PAUSE to resume play.
Skip Playback
While playing back your tape you can skip forward by pressing the 9 button.
The tape will search ahead for about a minute and then resume playing.
Slow Motion
To slow the playback speed to exactly the pace you want, press PLAY, then
then press 3 or 6 button. Press 6 to slow down, press 3 to speed up. The
more times you press, the slower or faster the slow motion.
