Automatic Operation Features 37
The following playback features will always operate.
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on automati-
cally. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.
If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automatically
when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.
If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will
eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the VCR
will rewind the tape to the beginning, stop, eject the tape, then turn
itself off. If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only
rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero,
then stop. The VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut
itself off.
If REPEAT PLAY is ON, the VCR will not eject the tape automatical-
ly or shut itself off. Playback will continue as set for Repeat Play.
Tape Eject
You can eject a tape with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR
must be plugged in). If you have set a timer recording, you can only
eject a tape with the VCR power on. Make sure you insert a tape
and turn off the VCR power for the timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possible
picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a bet-
ter picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

motion playback, press the CHANNEL
