Special Playback Effects
Part of the fun of video watching is being able to stop the action and take a closer look
or repeat a favorite scene. You can view the tape in a variety of modes selected from
the remote control.
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 the screen jitters during PAUSE, use the remote's TRACKING buttons to minimize it.
To resume play press PLAY or PAUSE again.

While in PAUSE mode during playback, press F.ADV to view the video one frame at a
time. Press PLAY or PAUSE to resume play.
Skip Playback
While playing back your tape you can skip forward by pressing the F.ADV button. The
tape will search ahead for about a minute and then resume playing.
