OTHER FEATURES
Locking Your VCR
If a timer recording is programmed,
make sure your VCR is turned off.
Locking your VCR prevents the VCR
from being accidentally turned on.
Tracking
Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes interference like
streaks or “snow” from the picture. Automatic tracking is
automatically activated when you insert a tape or turn on the
VCR. Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking,
especially if the tape was recorded on a different VCR. Just use
the TRACKING buttons to reduce the distortion. You can also use
tracking when you pause a tape to reduce jittering of the picture.
When you manually adjust the picture, automatic tracking is
turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on, press both
TRACKING buttons on the front of the VCR at the same time, or
eject the tape and re-insert it. Tracking has no effect during
recording– only playback.
Pro-Tect Plus ™ Locking
Feature
To disable the usage of the VCR, or to protect your timer
recordings, you can lock the VCR so that the buttons on the
VCR or remote won’t work.
• To Lock: Press and hold the VCR button on the remote
for approximately six seconds. SAFE appears.
• To Lock While a Timer Recording is in Progress:
Press and hold the VCR button on the remote for
approximately six seconds.
• To Unlock: Press and hold the VCR button on the
remote for approximately six seconds.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a
program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It
helps locate the beginning or end of programs you taped.
The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is
ejected from the VCR.
For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the
beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of
that program to begin another recording, you would:
1. Press INFO twice to display only the time counter.
2. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
