Automatic Operation Features 43
The following tape playback features are available in VCR mode. (Press
OUTPUT SELECT so the green VIDEO light is on, if necessary.)
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the DVD/VCR, the power will come on
automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.
If a timer recording is set and the TIMER light is flashing, the
power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with
the record tab intact.
If a timer recording is set and the TIMER light is flashing, the
DVD/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the
DVD/VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, stop, then eject
the tape. If REPEAT PLAY is ON, the DVD/VCR will not eject the
tape automatically. The tape will begin to play again. Details are on
page 39.
If the real-time tape counter memory is set, the DVD/VCR will
only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to
zero, then stop. The DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automati-
cally. Details are on page 40.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the DVD/VCR power on or off (but
the DVD/VCR must be plugged in).
If a timer recording is set and the TIMER light is on, the tape can-
not be ejected. To eject the tape, you must first press TIMER SET
(or TIMER on the DVD/VCR) to cancel the timer recording, then
press STOP/EJECT to remove the tape.To reset the timer record-
ing, insert a tape, then press TIMER SET (or TIMER on the
DVD/VCR).
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The DVD/VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best
possible 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 normal playback and slow
motion playback of a video cassette, press CHANNEL o/p on
the DVD/VCR. (CHANNEL/SKIP j/i (p/o) on the
remote control will not adjust tracking.)
Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you
press STOP C (p) or insert a tape.
You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture.
However, you may press CHANNEL o/p on the front of the
DVD/VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.
