Automatic Operation Features 45
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, go into the Stop mode, 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 programmed, 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 continually 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 adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL (Up/Down)
buttons on the VCR.
NOTES:
• The CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR adjust tracking dur-
ing playback.
• This function is controlled only by the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons
on the VCR. The CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the remote con-
trol will not adjust tracking.
• To return tracking to the position it was in when the VCR was
shipped from the factory, press the CHANNEL (Up) and CHANNEL
(Down) buttons on the VCR at the same time.
• Tracking is returned to auto tracking when a tape is inserted, or
when the STOP button is pressed to halt playback.
• When the VCR is in Slow mode, auto tracking will not work. Instead,
use the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR to reduce noise
lines in slow motion playback.
• Manual tracking will not operate when the VCR is in Still mode. If
you want to reduce noise lines in a still picture, place the VCR in Slow
mode. Use the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR to
remove the noise lines. Then return to Still mode.
