Connections & Setup
VCR Basics
Once your initial settings are complete, you can begin using your VCR. In order to begin, you
must first understand some basic concepts.
Safety Tab
Automatic Tracking
The VCR has automatic tracking
which adjusts the picture when
playing back a tape recorded on
another VCR. To adjust tracking
manually, press the
CHANNEL•TRACKING up or
down (CH/TRK up or down on
the remote control) buttons.
Playing a Tape
1. Tune the TV to your VCR viewing channel (03, 04, or the video line input).
2. Insert a tape in the VCR.
If the Auto Play feature is set to ON, the tape automatically begins
playback (if the safety tab on the tape is removed).
• Press REV or FWD ( or on the remote) to cue the tape at the
desired starting position.
• Press PLAY ( on the remote) if necessary, to begin tape play.
• Press PLAY again on the VCR ( on the remote) for stop action.
• Press CHANNEL•TRACKING up or down (CH/TRK up or down on the
remote control) to remove any streaks from the picture, if necessary.
• Press STOP•EJECT ( on the remote) to stop playback.
Automatic Rewind
The VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of the tape during
playback. While rewinding, you can press the POWER button and the VCR will
turn off after finishing. If the tape has no safety tab, it will be ejected.
Tape Eject
Press STOP•EJECT (EJECT on the remote) when stopped to eject the tape.
Recording
To Capture Programming with Basic Recording Methods:
1. Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote control
(see
Recording Speed on page 26 for information about recording speeds).
2. Press RECORD (REC/OTR on the remote) to begin recording.
3. Press STOP•EJECT ( on the remote) to halt recording.
If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (like during a
commercial), press on the remote instead of STOP.
Check the Safety Tab
No matter which recording option you use, make sure there is a tape in the
VCR with its safety tab in place. You cannot record on a tape with its safety tab
removed. If the safety tab is removed and you want to record, simply cover the
hole with adhesive tape.
