Chapter 4: VCR Features

VCR Basics

Once your initial settings are complete, you can begin using your DVD/VCR. In order to begin, you must
first understand some basic concepts.

Playing a tape

1. Tune the TV to your DVD/VCR viewing channel (03, 04, or the Video Input Channel).
2. Insert a tape in the DVD/VCR.
• Press FORWARD or REVERSE to cue the tape to the desired position during Play mode.
• Press PLAY (if necessary) to begin tape play.
• Press PAUSE to stop action. For slow-motion playback, press FORWARD (while picture is
paused). To move one frame at a time, press PAUSE on the remote (while paused).
• Press CHANNEL +/- (or CH +/- on the remote) to remove any streaks from the picture, if
necessary.
• Press STOP to stop playback.

Automatic Rewind

The DVD/VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of the tape during playback.

Tape Eject

Press the EJECT button on the DVD/VCR when stopped to eject the tape. You can also press the
OPEN•CLOSE button on the remote control.

Basic Recording

1. Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote control.
2. Press the RECORD button to begin recording.
3. Press the STOP button to halt recording.
If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (like during a commercial), press PAUSE
instead of STOP.

Check the Safety Tab

Make sure there is a tape in the DVD/VCR with its safety tab
in place. You cannot record on a tape if the safety tab has
been removed. If the safety tab is removed and you want to
record, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape.
