PLAYBACK
NORMAL PLAYBACK
Make sure ...
TV/VCR power must be turned on.
1 Insert a prerecorded tape
If the erase-protection tab has been removed, the
TV/VCR will start playback automatically.
2 To begin playback
Press the PLAY button.
3 To stop playback
Press the STOP button when
playback is completed.
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
Tracking adjustment will be set automatically
(Digital Tracking function) when you start playback.
However when playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes
recorded on units other than your own, noise lines
(black and white streaks) may appear on the playback
picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking
control manually by pressing the CHANNEL
or
button until the streaks disappear. To return to the
DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback
again.
PICTURE SEARCH
This feature is very useful in finding or skipping over a
particular scene on a tape. In this mode, the sound will
be muted.
1) You may view a video tape at a high speed in either
a forward or reverse direction by pressing the F.FWD
or REW button. (in the SP / LP / SLP modes)
2) Press it again and the TV/VCR will now search in
super high speed. (in the LP / SLP modes only)
NOTE:
Tapes recorded in the SP or LP mode will
display a noise bar on the TV screen and the picture
may revert to Black and White. This is normal.
3) Press the PLAY button to return to normal speed.
STILL PICTURE
You can view a still picture on the TV screen during
playback (the Still mode). Press the PAUSE/STILL
button during playback. Only tapes recorded in the SLP
mode will show the least amount of lines.
Press the PLAY button to return to playback.
NOTES:
Usually there will be video "noise" lines (black and
white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is normal.
If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP mode,
the still picture will be black and white in addition to
the "noise" lines.
This is not a fault of the machine, but merely a
by-product of the technology involved in
producing a TV/VCR with 2 video heads.
If it is left in the Pause mode for more than five
minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to
the Stop mode.
NOISE CANCEL
(in the Still mode)
This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise
lines of a still picture.
Press the PAUSE/STILL button so that the noise lines
change position on the screen so you can see the picture
in its entirety without distracting noise lines.
NOTE:
This feature can be activated ONLY when
viewing a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape was
originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the still picture
may revert to black and white in addition to the "noise
bars". This is normal.
VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL
In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins to
vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing the
CHANNEL K or L button.
NOTE:
If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposition or
reduce them. Refer to "NOISE CANCEL".
