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.
To Fine Tune the Picture
Auto Tracking
Pressing PLAY starts the auto tracking feature, which adjusts the tuning to eliminate
static lines that may appear on the screen.
Manual Tracking
Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture adjustment.
You can do this with the remote control. Press either 1 or 4 button until picture clears
up.
After operating the tracking manually, eject the tape and reinsert it to reactivate auto
tracking.
If you press the DISPLAY button when viewing a
videocassette, the display, as shown, appears for several seconds so you can see the
functions of the number buttons on the remote control.
1: TRACKING + 3: SLOW +
4: TRACKING - 6: SLOW -
9: FRAME ADVANCE
The above functions always work when you are viewing a videocassette even if the
display, as shown, is not displayed.
