In manual recording, Timer recording, Instant Timer
Recording, playback, or fast forward modes, the DVD+VCR
automatically starts rewinding the tape at the end of the
tape. The cassette will stop at the beginning of the tape and
be ejected, and the DVD+VCR will turn itself off.
After you have finished using the DVD+VCR, rewind, eject,
and remove the cassette. Place the cassette in its protec-
tive sleeve to protect it from dust. It is not necessary to
rewind the cassette before removing it, but if you do, it will
be ready to play or record the next time you use it.
Be sure the DVD+VCR Channel Selector is on the correct
channel you wish to record. The channel that is being
recorded can always be checked by setting the television
on the DVD+VCR channel (3 or 4) and pressing the
TV/VCR to turn the DVD+VCR’s VCR indicator on.
Do not attempt to hook up more than one television set to
the DVD+VCR for either recording or playback.
