Operation with tape
This chapter describes how to operate the VCR and
DVD.
VCR Tape Playback
Press the VCR button to select the device to be operat-
ed.
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 pow-
ers on automatically.
4. If the (TIMER) indicator in the display window is
lit press POWER (I/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 reach-
es 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 playback
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:
• When the ATR (Auto Tracking) button is pressed.
•Atape 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/TRK (v/V) buttons on the remote control or
CH (v/V) on the front panel 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 dur-
ing this time.
To search:
1. Press REW (m) or FWD (M) during playback.
2. To return to playback, press PLAY (N).
Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame Playback
1. Press PAUSE/STEP (X/C) 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/TRK (v/V) on the remote control.
3. Press PAUSE/STEP (X/C) 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.
