standards and at different tape speeds.
FULL AUTO PLAY FUNCTION
The audio outputs at the AUDIO OUT R/L-MONO jacks are available in
several different modes. The AUDIO OUT button on the remote control is
used to make a selection from these modes in a cyclic sequence.
1) Normally the VCR should be placed in Hi-Fi mode, in which the indicators
IT] and [}[] are lit up on the fluorescent display and the OSD, and

"I" is displayed for some time on the TV screen.
In Hi-Fi mode the VCR can play tapes with stereo or bilingual audio (main
channel from the left, and sub channel from the right).
2) Pressing the AUDIO OUT button the first time sends only the left-channel
audio to both the AUDIO OUT Rand L-MONO jacks.
3)
Pressing the button a second time sends only the right-channel audio to
both the AUDIO OUT Rand L-MONO jacks.
4) Pressing it a third time sends the mono audio recorded on the linear track
to both AUDIO OUT Rand L-MONO jacks.

audio modes described above in a cyclic sequence.

• The VCR will automatically switch into mono mode from the linear audio track if
the quality of the Hi-Fi audio tracks is too poor, or if the tracking is "out".
The convenient auto play feature lets you save some manual operation steps
in tape playback.

VCR, the deck automatically turns itself on and starts playback. When the end
of the tape is reached, the VCR automatically rewinds the tape to the
beginning and ejects it.

• The vertical raster size is slightly smaller than normal. This is not a machine
malfunction.
• If the PAL TV lacks a V-HOLD control, you cannot view NTSC video
programmes because the vertical synchronization will remain "out." If your

the vertical sync. with the V-HOLD knob.
