PLAYBACK RECORDING
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached
during playback or search?
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect
the heads.
Q. During search, slow, stiff and frame-by-frame
playback, I can't hear any audio. What's the
problem?
A. This is normal
Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,
the picture is intermittent. What's the cause?
A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are
attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing
PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the
picture.
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What's
the problem?
A. This is normal
Q. When playing back programs that have been timer-
recorded with consecutive times (such one program
from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to
10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily
distorted at the point where the first program ends
and the second program begins. Is this a
malfunction?
A. No. This is normal.
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect
does removing the safety tab have?
A. It disables marking of index codes.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can't find
the program I want to see. Why not?
A. There may be index codes too close together.
Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators
sometimes iitter. Why does this happen?
A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not
good, jittering of the video (including on-screen
indicators) may occur.
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by
the new recording. Why does this happen?
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and
resume points.
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause
mode?
A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode
after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused
during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts
off automatically after 5 minutes.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.
TIM[R R[CORDIH6
Q. REC and (D remain lit on the front display panel. Is
there a problem?
A. No, This is a normal condition for a timer recording
in progress.
Q. Can I program the timer while I'm watching a tape
or a TV broadcast?

the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is
replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the
tape or broadcast program will be present during the
setting of the timer.
