Using Basic Playback Controls
Rewinding a tape
While the tape is stopped, press REW on the remote control or on
the front panel.
Fast forwarding a tape
While the tape is stopped, press FF on the remote control or on the
front panel.
Speed Search with picture
While the tape is playing press FF for forward speed search with
picture or press REW for reverse speed search. See page 41 for
additional information on searching techniques.
Pausing a tape
While the tape is playing, press PAUSE on the remote control or on
the front panel to freeze the picture on the screen.
Press PAUSE a second time to return to normal play.
If you leave the VCR in pause for more than 5 minutes, the VCR
will automatically stop to prevent damage to the tape.
Controlling Vibration During Still Frame
If the picture vibrates during still frame, press the CHANNEL
buttons on the front panel until the picture is steady.
Unloading a Tape
1
Press EJECT on the front panel or on the remote control. If the
VCR POWER is off, the VCR will turn on, eject the tape, then
turn off.
2
Remove the tape.
Using repaired tapes
We recommend that you take any broken or torn tapes to a
professional for repair. If you repair a torn tape with improper
materials, you could damage your VCR when you play the tape.
Head cleaning
Your VCR automatically cleans the head and the drum of the VCR
whenever you load a tape. If you see “noise” or snow when
playing a tape, eject the tape, re-load the tape, then wait 3 or 4
seconds. Repeat this process several times to improve the picture.
