QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached

during playback or search?

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?
A.
No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect

the heads.

Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame

playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the
problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,

the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?

A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are

attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing
PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the

picture.

Q. When returning from search to normal playback, the

picture is disturbed. Should I be concerned about
this?

A. No, it is normal.

Q. Noise bars appear during search. What’s the

problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. When playing back programs that have been timer-

recorded with consecutive times (such one program
from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to
10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily
distorted at the point where the first program ends
and the second program begins. Is this a
malfunction?

A. No. This is normal.

Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect

does removing the safety tab have?

A. It disables marking of index codes.

Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find

the program I want to see. Why not?

A. There may be index codes too close together.

Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators

sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?

A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not

good, jittering of the video (including on-screen
indicators) may occur.

RECORDING

Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end

of the recording before the pause is overlapped by
the new recording. Why does this happen?

A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and

resume points.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause

mode?

A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode

after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused
during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts

off automatically after 5 minutes.

Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?
A.
The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.

TIMER RECORDING

Q. The REC and TIMER indicators on the front panel

remain lit. Is there a problem?

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording

in progress.

Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape

or a TV broadcast?

A. Yes, but while you are setting the timer you won't see

the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is
replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the
tape or broadcast program will be present during the
setting of the timer.
