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 single
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 programs
over a full 365-day period. No manual setting, adjusting, or programming
of the calendar function is required.
Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming
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.

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 channels
programmed into memory are tuned using the channel up/down buttons
on either the remote or front panel of the VCR. Automatic channel
preset can be repeated whenever desired, should new channels become
available. Channels can be manually added or deleted.
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.
Clock/Function Display
Continuously alerts you to all important recording and playback conditions,
correct time, counter position, tape speed, channel number, etc.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) Onscreen Function Display
Indicates record/playback functions, channel number, clock setting, date,
counter, programming, one-touch record and record standby, keeping you
alert to the status of all features in a heads-up onscreen display.
Onscreen Real-Time Counter with Time Search
Unlike the 0000 to 9999 tape counters found in standard VCRs, this unit
incorporates a linear, real-time counter which shows elapse time in hours,
minutes, and seconds. Now you can advance or return to selected tape
segments in any time increment you desire.
Timer/Programmer Back-up System
Retains timer programming information for up to 1 full minute in the event
of momentary power interruptions.
Repeat Play
When the VCR recognizes no recorded signal or reaches the end of a tape
with the Repeat Play control activated, it automatically rewinds to the begin-
ning and enters the play mode again. Repeat Play can be discontinued by
touching the button a second time or by changing operation mode.
Quick Start Mechanism
Quickly and effortlessly switches the tape mechanism from Stop to Play in
only 1 second, instead of the approximately 5 1/4 seconds of older models.
Audio/Video Input/Output Jacks
Connect your VCR to the direct audio and video inputs of a television
receiver or monitor equipped with input jacks, for better picture and sound
quality during tape playback. Jacks also allow a second VCR to be connected
for editing and/or duplicating personally recorded, non-copyrighted videotapes.
Special Effects
15x Forward/Reverse Latching Search
Search in forward or reverse mode at 15 times normal playing speed in SLP.
The Latching Search feature provides continuous forward or reverse search
with a single touch of the control.A second touch stops the search operation
and returns the unit to the Play mode.
Remote Control
Multifunction Infrared Remote
Controls all operating features and functions of this VCR with armchair con-
venience–including all special features, random channel access, and channel
scan up/down providing an LED virtual “handshake” for confirmation.
