VIDEO INDEX SEARCH SYSTEM (INDEX)
The VIDEO INDEX SEARCH SYSTEM
(INDEX) enables you to locate the
beginning of any recording made on the
unit. The Index Search function auto-
matically records an INDEX mark on the
tape whenever a recording is initiated.
This mark can easily be located by
using FWD and REV.
NOTES:
•
When you recorded an INDEX mark at
the very beginning of the tape, the mark
may not be found.
•
During INDEX search, the tape may
stop and begin to play at a slightly
different location.
•
INDEX may not function properly with
old or worn out video tapes.

NOTE:
When playing HiFi cassette tapes recorded on another VCR, the sound output may be distorted. This is normal and no
indication of a unit malfunction. Try to minimize sound distortions by using TRK +/– or change to MONO by pressing of
AUDIO.
RECEPTION DISTURBANCE
The most common types of television interference are as follows.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may
appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from
car ignition systems, neon lamps, elec-
trical drills and other electrical appli-
ances.
SNOW
If your receiver is located in the fringe
area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be
marred by the appearance of small
dots. When the signal is extremely
weak, it may be necessary to install a
special antenna to improve the pic-
ture.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the AC power source before cleaning. The finish on the cabinet may be
cleaned with mild soap and a soft damp cloth. Take care when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads record and playback picture and sound on the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you won't be able to do a perfect
recording and the playback picture will be extremely snowy with good sound. If this happens have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
AUTO HEAD CLEANING cleans the video heads automatically when a cassette is inserted or ejected. This prevents dirt from
accumulating onto the heads which can cause snowy picture.
Manual head cleaning is needed if the picture on playback is still unclear although the picture on program is normal. This failure
signifies that the head is getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning,
use a high quality head-cleaning cassette or have them cleaned professionally.
NOTES:
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head cleaning, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn tapes.
DUPLICATING A DISC MATERIAL ONTO A VIDEO TAPE
With this unit it is theoretically possible
to record from a DVD or Audio CD to a
video tape.
If the DVD disc has a Copy-guard feature,
the duplication is not possible. A symbol
mark "
" will appear on the screen
for approx. 4 seconds. See page 36 for
more information about the DVD Disc.

NOTES:
•
You can set the duplicating time using
the OTR-function. At step 3 above
press REC repeatedly until the desired
duplicating time appears on the screen.

GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television
signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected
from tall buildings, hills or some other
object. Changing the direction or posi-
tion of the antenna may improve the
reception.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
The interference produces moving rip-
ples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the
picture.
