door. After several seconds, the door will close automatically.
If you have set the AUTO DOOR function to OFF in the Initial Setup Screen, the
door does not open when the cassette is brought near to the door. You can open the
door by pressing the EJECT/OPEN button on the VCR.
If you use the VT-S772A with another electronic device and operate the remote
control provided with another device, this device may malfunction. In this case, move
the VT-S772A or set the AUTO DOOR function to OFF.
Tape Storage
Store your videocassettes in their jackets and in an upright position (like books in a
bookshelf) away from any magnetic sources. Resist the temptation to leave them lying
flat on top of the VCR. Tapes will last longer - and so will your VCR - if you store them
properly. Remember, dust, dirt and liquids are enemies of your tapes and VCR.
To avoid aggravation later, apply the labels that come with new tapes. On them, write
notes to yourself about what you recorded.
Basic Operations
Practice starting and stopping a video you've rented - play it through, see how it
automatically rewinds.
Get a blank tape and try recording a TV show. Then you'll know how to use the VCR
when you need to - or where in the manual to find the instructions you forgot. Let's go!
Viewing a Videocassette
To play Back a Recorded Tape
1. Insert the cassette, arrow-side forward, into the slot at the front of the VCR. The
power comes on automatically and the tape indicator lights on the display.
2. Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4) using the number buttons on
the TV's remote control.
3. Press PLAY to start the tape.
4. Press STOP to end play.
Direct Video Input to the TV
Normally you would select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from the VCR.
You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary video input feature and if
the TV and VCR have a direct video-to-video hookup. If this is the case, do not select
channel 3 or 4. Instead:
Press the AUX or VIDEO button on the TV's remote control to select the proper
input channel for playback.
