Auto 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
picture quality,
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/X2, it takes about 2 seconds until recording or playback is engaged when in the
standby mode.
Auto Rental Mode
(This function only works when AUTO RENTAL mode on the MODE selection screen is set to ON.)
The convenient auto rental mode lets you enjoy playback with ease. When you insert a cassette with the
erasure protection tab removed (rental videos, etc.), your VCR automatically turn on the power, rewind the
tape forward to find the recorded section and playback the tape. When the tape reaches the end of recorded
section, the VCR automatically rewind the tape, turn off the power and eject the tape.
• If there is more than a 15 second unrecorded section between recorded sections, the tape will automatically stop and
rewind. To watch the next recorded section, press STOP fast forward to that section and play the tape.
• If the erasure protection hole is covered, press
PLAY/
x
2
after the power turns on automatically. (Auto Rental Mode does
not work.)
• If Auto Rental and Repeat (Auto Repeat) modes on the MODE selection are set to ON simultaneously, Auto Rental will not
function. (If this happens, set Repeat (Auto Repeat) mode to OFF.)
• The AUTO REPEAT mode has priority over the AUTO RENTAL mode. If the AUTO REPEAT mode is set to ON and the
video cassette reaches its end, the VCR will rewind the tape and play it back again without ejecting the tape or turning off
the POWER.
Blue Back
Set the BLUE BACK mode to AUTO on the MODE-selection screen. (See
Mode Selection
on page 16.) This
function eliminates monitor noise and mutes sound during playback of unrecorded portions of a tape and
when receiving a non-broadcasting channel. A blue screen will also appear if the VCR is set to the Auxiliary
input (LINE IN) mode but no video signal is fed to the VCR. (The BLUE BACK mode is set to AUTO at the
factory.)
I NOTE >
• Blue Back does not function during still picture, variable slow motion and video search.
• Blue Back may not function properly if the broadcast signal is too strong or too weak.
• Blue Back cannot be recorded.
• If the antenna signal is weak while recording a TV programme, or if the input signal is weak while tape dubbing, the
monitor screen may turn blue back since the unit may not recognize whether or not a proper signal is being received. In
this event, set the BLUE BACK mode to OFF.
