Basic Operati0ns (Playback) _-
Practice starting and stopping a video you've rented - play it through, see how it
automatically rewinds.
Get a blank tape and try recording a TV show. Then you'll know how to use the
VCR when you need to--or where in the manual to find the instructions you
forgot. Let's go!
To Play Back a Recorded Tape
1. Insert the cassette, arrow-side forward, into the slot at the front of the VCR.
The power comes on automatically and the tape indicator lights on the display.
2. Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4). Or, if you are hooked up
with a direct audio/video cable, set the TV to AUX or VIDEO.
3. Press PLAY to start the tape.
4. Press STOP to end play.
Direct Video Input to the TV
Normally you would select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from the
VCR. You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary video input
feature and if the TV and VCR have a direct video-to-video hookup. If this is the
case, do not select channel 3 or 4. Instead:
Press the AUX or VIDEO button on the TV's remote control to select the
proper input channel for playback.
To Fine Tune the Picture
Auto Tracking
Pressing PLAY starts the auto tracking feature, which adjusts the tuning to
eliminate static lines that may appear on the screen.
Manual Tracking
Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture
adjustment. Press the CHANNEL up or down button until picture becomes clear.
After operating the tracking manually, eject the tape and reinsert it to reactivate
auto tracking.
Rewinding the Tape
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 rewind the video cassette. If you press POWER while the tape
is rewinding, the power will shut off automatically after the tape has completely
rewound.
