EDITING A RECORDING

OPERATING HINTS

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

1.
Press N (PLAY) and watch the program until you reach
the exact point where you want the new recording to start.
2.
Press P/STILL.
3.
Press REC/ITR once.
The program material to be recorded will appear on the television.
4.
When you wish to start recording, press P/STILL again.
The new program material will directly follow the previously
recorded material. This feature is especially helpful during cam-
corder-to-VCR dubbing use so each segment of the recording
becomes a continuous program.
• In manual recording, Timer recording, Instant Timer
Recording, playback, or fast forward modes, the VCR auto-
matically starts rewinding the tape when the end of the tape
is reached. The cassette will rewind and stop at the begin-
ning of the tape, be ejected, and the VCR will turn itself off.
• After you have finished using the VCR, rewind, eject, and
remove the cassette. Place the cassette in its protective
sleeve to protect it from dust. It is not necessary to rewind the
cassette before removing it, but if you do, it will be ready to
play or record the next time you use it.
• Be sure the VCR Channel Selector is on the correct channel
you wish to record. The channel that is being recorded can
always be checked by tuning the television to the VCR
channel (3 or 4) and pressing the TV/VCR selector to turn
the VCR's VCR indicator on.
• Do not attempt to hook up more than one television set to the
VCR for either recording or playback.
• Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from
this unit the video head is automatically cleaned.
• However, it is possible that the heads may become clogged
when playing an old or damaged tape. If the image on your
screen resembles the picture on the left while playing back a
tape, the heads may require cleaning.
• To clean the heads, obtain a head cleaning tape from your
local video dealer. Follows the instructions that come with the
cleaning tape, as excessive use can shorten head life.
