Basic Instructions
1. Turn on the TV.
2. 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.
3. Insert a pre-recorded video cassette.
The indicator lights and the DVD+VCR
powers on automatically.
4. If the (TIMER) indicator in the display window
is lit press POWER 1/: once.
5. If a tape without a safety tab is inserted the unit
starts playback automatically.
If not, press PLAY (N).
6. Press STOP (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.
Notes:
•
It is not necessary to select the tape speed for playback
because it is automatically selected by the DVD+VCR.
Also, during playback the TV/VCR selector switches to
VCR mode automatically.
• When playing back tapes that have been overrecorded
with new content, the original audio may be audible dur-
ing auto tracking.
Auto Tracking
Automatic tracking adjusts the picture to remove
snow or streaks when:
• A tape is played for the first time.
• The tape speed (SP, LP, SLP) changes.
• Streaks or snow appear due to scratches on the
tape.
Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking use the CH -/+
buttons 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
section 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:
1. Press REW (m) or FF (M) during playback.
2. To return to playback, press PLAY (N).
Notes:
•
After 3 minutes in SEARCH mode the DVD+VCR
returns to PLAY mode to protect the tape and video
heads.
• During the tape fast rewinding (backward or forward),
don’t press the same button (REW or FF) again.
Otherwise it takes more time to rewind the tape.
Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame Playback
1. Press PAUSE (X) during playback.
A still picture appears on the TV screen and the
audio is muted.
2 If the still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by
using CH -/+ on the Remote Control.
3. Press PAUSE (X) repeatedly to advance the
video picture one frame at a time.
4. 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.
