88 DUAL-DECK USER’S GUIDE
Why can’t I bring up the 8-Scene Edit List?
• Insert a tape in Deck 1. The VCR must have a tape in Deck 1 for the 8-Scene Edit List to appear.
• 8-Scene Edit List is not available during Copy Tape.
Why aren’t the tape counters moving?
If the VCR is playing a blank section of tape (only video noise, or “snow” appears on-screen), the tape counter
cannot operate. The VCR requires a control track, which is only present on recorded tape, to provide counter
information.
Why can’t I get a Menu or an On-Screen Display?
• If the VCR is playing a blank section of tape (only video noise, or “snow” appears on-screen), the VCR
cannot produce on-screen menus or displays. Stop the tape or record on it to enable the displays.
• The remote may be set to control the TV instead of the VCR. Press the VCR button on your remote to reacti-
vate it.
• If the Date/Time Stamp is set to “Cont” (Continuous) and a recording is in progress, the on-screen menus and
displays are disabled. Press Stop on the recording deck to restore normal on-screen functions.
Why do I get a blue screen?
• If a channel is too weak to deliver a clear picture, the VCR will display a blue screen in its place. To see
channels with poor reception, turn on the Show Weak Channels feature in the Tuner and Channel List menu.
• Double-check your antenna connections or tuner settings.
Why is my Power button blinking?
The VCR is in Auto Power Off mode. If you press the Power button while rewinding, copying, Timer Record-
ing, One-Touch Recording or using EZ-Copy, the VCR will automatically turn off when the function is com-
pleted. Pressing the Power button toggles Auto Power On and Off.
