This chapter describes how to operate the VCR and
DVD.
VCR Tape Playback
Press the VCR button to select the device to be oper-
ated.
Basic Instructions
Turn on the TV.
Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH
3 or 4) or if a direct VIDEO/AUDIO
connection is made between the DVD+VCR and
the TV, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.
Insert a pre-recorded video cassette.
The indicator lights and the DVD+VCR pow-
ers on automatically.
If the
(TIMER) indicator in the display window is
lit, press POWER
(1/:) once.
If a tape without a safety tab is inserted the unit
starts playback automatically.
If not, press PLAY (
N).

(x) to stop playback. If the tape
reaches the end before you press STOP
(x) the
DVD+VCR automatically stops, rewinds and ejects
the tape.
Note:
It is not necessary to select the tape speed for play
-
back because it is automatically selected by the
DVD+VCR. Also, during playback the TV/VCR selector
switches to VCR mode automatically.
Auto Tracking
Automatic tracking adjusts the picture to remove snow
or streaks and beings when:
A tape is played for the first time.
The tape speed (SP, LP, SLP) changes.

Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking use the CH (- / +) but-
tons during playback.
Notes:
Vertical jitter requires a very fine adjustment.
Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the
tape is ejected or the power cord is unplugged for
more than 3 seconds.
Search
This function lets you visually search for a tape sec-
tion in either direction: forward and reverse. During the
high-speed picture search modes, the audio is muted
and horizontal lines (noise bars) appear. Also, a short
time is needed to stabilize the tape speed when re-
entering the PLAY mode so slight interference may be
observed during this time.
To search:
Press REW (
m) or FF (M) during playback.
To return to playback, press PLAY (
N).
Note:
After 3 minutes in SEARCH mode the DVD+VCR
returns to PLAY mode to protect the tape and video
heads.
Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame Playback
Press PAUSE (X) during playback.
A still picture appears on the TV screen and the
audio is muted.
If the still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by
using CH (- / +) on the remote control.
Press PAUSE (
X) repeatedly to advance the video
picture one frame at a time.
To return to playback, press PLAY (
N).
Note:
After 5 minutes in STILL mode the DVD+VCR stops to
protect the tape and video heads.
