operated.
Basic Instructions
1. Turn on the TV.
2. Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel
(CH 3 or 4) or if a direct VIDEO/AUDIO
connection is made between the DVD+VCR
and the TV, set the TV’s source selector to
VIDEO.
3. Insert a pre-recorded video cassette.
The indicator lights and the DVD+VCR
powers on automatically.
4. If the (TIMER) indicator in the display win-
dow is lit press POWER 1/: once.
5. If a tape without a safety tab is inserted the
unit starts playback automatically.
If not, press PLAY (
N).
6. Press STOP (
x) to stop playback. If the tape
reaches the end before you press STOP (
x)
the DVD+VCR automatically stops, rewinds
and ejects the tape.
Notes:
• It is not necessary to select the tape speed for play-
back because it is automatically selected by the
DVD+VCR.
Also, during playback the TV/VCR selector switches
to VCR mode automatically.
• When playing back tapes that have been over-
recorded with new content, the original audio may
be audible during auto tracking.
Auto Tracking
Automatic tracking adjusts the picture to remove
snow or streaks when:
• A tape is played for the first time.
• The tape speed (SP, LP, SLP) changes.
• Streaks or snow appear due to scratches on
the tape.
Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking use the CH -/+
buttons during playback.
Notes:
• Vertical jitter requires a very fine adjustment.
• Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the
tape is ejected or the power cord is unplugged for
more than 3 seconds.
Search
This function lets you visually search for a tape
section in either direction: forward and reverse.
During the high-speed picture search modes, the
audio is muted and horizontal lines (noise bars)
appear. Also, a short time is needed to stabilize
the tape speed when re-entering the PLAY mode
so slight interference may be observed during this
time.
To search:
1. Press REW ( m) or FF (M) during play-
back.
2. To return to playback, press PLAY ( N).
Notes:
• After 3 minutes in SEARCH mode the DVD+VCR
returns to PLAY mode to protect the tape and video
heads.
• During the tape fast rewinding (backward or for-
ward), don’t press the same button (REW or FF)
again. Otherwise it takes more time to rewind the
tape.
Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame
Playback

A still picture appears on the TV screen and
the audio is muted.

by using CH -/+ on the Remote Control.
3. Press PAUSE ( X) repeatedly to advance the
video picture one frame at a time.
4. To return to playback, press PLAY (
