Playing a Video Tape,
continued
Using Picture Search
Picture Search lets you quickly
search a pre-recorded video
tape for a particular scene.
1 While playing a tape, press
and release FF or REW.
The images from the tape are
displayed on the screen at a
high speed.
This technique is useful if you
are searching a small amount
of tape. If you want to search
a large amount of tape, stop
the tape before pressing FF
or REW.
There is no sound while you
search for a picture at high
speeds, and some horizontal
streaks may appear on the
screen.
2 When you find the scene you
want, press and release FF or
REW again to resume playing
the tape at regular speed.
Using Tracking
This feature automatically
adjusts tracking on video tapes.
1 Insert and play a video tape.
When the tape begins to play,
the TV/VCR begins automatic
tracking.
The tracking display will
appear the first time a tape is
played after being inserted
into the TV/VCR, when there
is a change in tape speed, or
when you press TRK +,-.
2 If automatic tracking doesn’t
remove the streaks from the
picture, press and hold TRK+
or TRK– until the streaks
disappear.
Using the Time Counter
The time counter allows you to
keep track of how much time
(in hours, minutes, and seconds)
has elapsed on the video tape.
The counter can also be useful if
you want to find a specific point
on a pre-recorded tape.
1 While a tape is playing, press
DISPLAY twice.
The time counter appears.
The counter displays time
only for recorded sections of
tape. Blank tapes or blank
sections of tapes do not
affect the counter display.
2 Press CLEAR to set the
counter to “00:00:00.”
✔ The TV/VCR automatically
resets the counter to “00:00:00”
when you eject a tape or record.
3 Press DISPLAY to remove the
time counter.
Using Memory Stop
Memory Stop makes it easy to
find a particular scene in a video
tape. The TV/VCR automatically
stops rewinding or fast
forwarding when the memory
counter reaches “00:00:00.”
If you mark a desired scene as
“00:00:00,” you can search for it
the next time you watch the
tape.
1 While playing a tape, when
you reach the scene you
want, press DISPLAY twice.
The time counter appears.
2 Press CLEAR to reset the
timer to “00:00:00.”
