Blue Screen Noise Elimination
Set the BLUE SCREEN mode to ON on the SET UP–selection screen. (See Mode Selection.) This function
eliminates monitor noise and mutes sound during playback of unrecorded portions of a tape, and when
receiving a non-broadcasting channel. Blue Screen will also appear if the VCR is set to the Auxiliary mode but
no video signal is fed to the VCR. (The BLUE SCREEN mode is set to ON at the factory.)
• Blue Screen does not function during still picture, variable slow motion and video search.
• Blue Screen may not function properly if the broadcast signal is too strong or too weak.
• Blue Screen does not function during playback of a tape with noise recorded.
• If the antenna signal is weak while recording a TV program, or if the input signal is weak while tape dubbing, the monitor
screen may turn blue since the unit may not recognize whether or not a proper signal is being received. In this event, set the
BLUE SCREEN mode to OFF.
Quick Start with Full Loading Mechanism
Your VCR has a standby function (Full Loading Mechanism) to allow immediate recording and playback.
After pressing REC or PLAY, it takes about 2 seconds until recording or playback is engaged when in the
standby mode.
Full Automatic Playback
The Full Automatic Playback lets you enjoy playback with ease. When you insert a cassette with the erasure
protection tab removed, your VCR automatically turns on the power and plays back the tape. When the tape
reaches its end, the VCR automatically rewinds the tape, ejects it and turns off the power.
• If the erasure protection hole is covered, press PLAY after the power turns on automatically.
Automatic Head Cleaning System
When the tape is inserted, or ejected, this system automatically cleans the drum and heads with a special
roller before recording or playback begins, protecting the heads and drum from dirt and preserving beautiful
sound and picture quality.
Audio Output Mode
our VCR has 3 channels for audio recording (2 on the Hi-Fi track and 1 on the linear track). You can select the
Y
audio output channels in playback mode on the SET UP–selection screen. The following shows which audio
channels will be heard when a stereo Hi-Fi video cassette is played back while a stereo system is properly
connected to the VCR.
(See Mode Selection.)
Hi-Fi
mode:
Normally, select Hi-Fi
lection screen: both the left (L) and right (R) audio
channels will be taken from the Hi-Fi audio track.
Normally you will not have to change to another
mode.
(See Recording MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound)
Broadcasts.)
Hi-Fi
mode:
The left channel of the Hi-Fi audio track will be played back through both speakers.
Hi-Fi
mode:
The right channel of the Hi-Fi audio track will be played back through both speakers.
Linear mode:
The audio signal recorded on the linear audio track will be played back through both speakers.
• When video cassettes recorded on a non-Hi-Fi VCR are played back or the Hi-Fi audio output level is poor, the audio signal
recorded on the linear audio track will automatically be played back regardless of the audio output mode.
