Programming & Record/Playback Features
VCR Plus+™ Programming
Simplifies VCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode
®
programming numbers found in many published television listings. When
recording begins, your VCR automatically selects the proper TV channel
and program length. Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel
guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is
disconnected from its power source.
One-Touch Record
Record up to 8 hours or to the end of the tape with the touch of a sin-
gle button. Each touch of the OTR button adds 30 minutes of additional
recording time.
8-Event/1-Year Smart Programming
Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 8 separate pro-
grams over a full 365-day period. No manual setting, adjusting, or pro-
gramming of the calendar function is required.
Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming
Program by remote control for unattended recording, with programming
instructions onscreen for visual verification. Onscreen menus lead you
through normal, daily, or weekly programming by program number,
channel to be recorded, start and stop times, speed, and date of record-
ing by day, month, and year. Pressing the CLEAR button lets you go back
and reprogram over mistakes, and pressing the MENU button at the end
of programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.
Picture
4-Head, Double Azimuth Design
Combines direct drive cylinder and capstan motors with precision digital
servo control to produce excellent special effects reproduction in Still
and Slow modes in both SP and SLP speeds.
Digital Auto Tracking System
When tape playback begins, this feature automatically seeks the optimum
tracking position in the tracking range, and the optimum audio signal track-
ing position for clearest picture and sound. Buttons on the remote trans-
mitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.
Auto Head Cleaner
Gently, automatically cleans the video heads each time a tape is inserted
or removed to maintain optimum picture performance during both
recording and playback.
Convenience
Daylight Savings Timer
This menu-driven feature automatically compensates for Daylight Savings
Time changes in early April and late October so you don’t have to reset
the clock twice a year. Simply activate the Daylight Savings Time option
in the Set Clock menu and forget it!
Automatic Channel Setup
The VCR tuner scans through television frequencies, automatically
storing active broadcast channel into memory. Then, only active chan-
nels programmed into memory are tuned using the CHANNEL ▲ ▼
buttons on either the remote or front panel of the VCR. Automatic chan-
nel
preset can be repeated whenever desired, should new channels become
available. Channels can be manually added or deleted.
Front Panel Audio/Video Inputs
Provide added convenience to the user when recording tapes directly from a
camcorder to the VCR. In addition, accessory video equipment such as a
video game or Web browser can be connected for direct playthrough to the
TV set.
181-Channel FS Tuning
The digital quartz tuner can receive up to 181 channels, including UHF,
VHF, and 113 cable channels, without the inconvenience and expense of a
cable company decoder/converter (on non-scrambled cable systems).
Channel tuning is by random access with the remote control transmitter or
scan tuning up and down by remote or at the set.

tion and returns the unit to the Play mode.
