Operating
Controls
(Detailed
Descriptions)
The uses of the controls for basic operation are given on
page
10. Now
that
you are familiar
with the basic
procedure
for recording
a TV program
and playing it
back. you are ready to learn
the rest of the control
functions.
The controls of your VCR are designed so that:
• Accidentally
pressing a wrong button will not damage
the VCR or the cassette.
• Nun-essential
buttons
are disabled
during recording
to help you avoid accidental
interruptions.
• Operation
of the VCR is automatic
whenever this is
feasible.
• Automatic
recording
functions (Timer and XPR) will
not disturb normal TV viewing.
• If you run out of tape during
playback
or normal
recording,
the
VCR
rewinds
it
and
stops
automatically.
If tape
runs
out
during
Timer
or
Express Recording, the VCR stops without rewinding.
• Because
of these
features,
the functions
of some
control buttons
depend on the condition
of the VCR
at the time they are used.
