Searching for a tape position

Sometimes you may have recorded two or more
TV programmes on one cassette.
So that you do not have to spend time searching,
your set offers you an automatic search facility.

Every time you start to record, this TV Combi marks
the tape with a code mark. You can search for these
code marks on the tape or unrecorded areas lasting
at least 15 seconds using the

INDEX E

button on

your remote control.

Press the

INDEX E

button.

Press the

button to select the next code

mark or unrecorded area or the

button for

the previous code mark or unrecorded area.

Once the TV Combi finds the code mark or
unrecorded area it will automatically switch to
playback.

Note:
* When you press any tape transport button
(e.g.: the

button) this search

function will be stopped.
* You cannot use this function with recordings
made on another TV Combi that does not have
this function.

How do I eliminate picture interfer-
ence?

Every time a cassette is loaded the TV Combi will
automatically set the correct tracking position.
For recordings made on another set you may be able
to improve on the automatic setting as follows:

During playback press the

button on your

remote control. The main menu appears on the
TV screen.

Select 'SPECIAL' and confirm with the

button.

Select 'TRACKING' .

Press the

menu button until the

playback quality is at its best.

Press the

button. This setting will remain

until you remove the cassette.

Note:
* Some hired cassettes may have a poor pic-
ture/sound quality. This is not a fault in your set.

Cleaning function

When using your TV Combi for a longer period of
time, the videoheads may become dirty. During
playback horizontal lines appear on the screen, that
will not disappear when using the function as de-
scribed in the previous paragraph.

Press the

button. The main menu appears

on the screen.

Select the 'SPECIAL' line and press the

button

Select the 'CLEANING' line.

Press the

button. A blue screen appears for

a few seconds.

Wait until the blue screen disappears and press
the

button.
