Tape Speed
You can choose as the preferred recording tape speed either Standard Play (SP)
or Super Long Play (SLP). The speed selected appears in the VCR’s front display
panel and in timer and VCR Plus+ system recording menus.
To Select a Preferred Tape Speed:

In the PREFERENCES menu, press the 6 button repeatedly to switch between
SP and SLP settings.
Note: For an explanation of recording speeds, see the note to the left.
To Override the Preferred Tape Speed:
•
Press the SPEED button on the remote control.
•
Set the tape speed in the timer or VCR Plus+ system recording menus.
When you turn off the VCR, the tape speed reverts to the one selected as the
default.
Set Auto Repeat
A tape can be set to play the same segment over and over in a repeating loop
with the Set Auto Repeat feature. Set Auto Repeat uses the VCR’s memory
counter to determine the duration of the loop.
In the PREFERENCES menu, press the 7 button to choose Set Auto Repeat. The
SET AUTO REPEAT menu will ask for an ending time for the loop to be
specified:
•
The CLEAR button will erase all three numbers entered and move the cursor
back to the first position (hours).
•
The Press CLEAR to turn off message will appear only after the first number
has been entered into the end time.
•
Auto Repeat is set back to -:-- by resetting the dialog box, ejecting a tape,
powering off the VCR, power interruption, or by recording start.
When a duration time has been set:
•
The VCR will automatically switch to rewind if the counter meets or goes
past the set Auto Repeat duration.
•
The VCR will automatically switch to playback during rewind if the counter
equals or is less than 0:00.
•
The Auto Repeat may be adjusted by setting the counter to 00:00. This can
be done by pressing the CLEAR button while the tape counter is on screen
or on the front panel display.
• The counter will not reset while rewinding in an Auto Repeat loop.
