40 Automatic Operation Features
The following playback features will always operate.
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on auto-
matically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.
If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automati-
cally when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.
If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will
eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the
VCR will rewind the tape, stop, eject the tape, then turn itself off.
If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind
to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The
VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself off.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the
VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is set, a tape can
only be ejected with the power on. Make sure you insert a tape
and turn off the VCR power for the timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possi-
ble picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a
better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).
Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking during playback, press the CHAN-
NEL o/p buttons on the VCR. (The CH(annel) o/p buttons
on the remote control will not adjust tracking.)
Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you
press the STOP/p button or insert a tape.
You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture.
However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the
VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.
