By default, this VCR automatically turns off after two hours
of inactivity. Press 4 to change the time delay or to disable
the feature.
• OFF: The VCR will remain turned on until you shut it
off.
• 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00: The VCR turns off after one, two, or
three hours of inactivity.
Thirty seconds before shutting off, the VCR will warn you
with a screen reading, “The VCR will turn off in 30 seconds.
Press any key to cancel.”
If you use the VCR’s tuner instead of your TV to tune
channels, you may want to turn this feature off.
