Practice
starting and stopping a video you've rented - play it through,
see how it
automatically
rewinds.
Get a blank tape and try recording
a TV show.
Then you'll know how to use the
VCR when you need to-or
where in the manual to find the instructions
you
forgot.
Let's got.
To Play Back a Recorded
Tape
1. Insert the cassette,
arrow-side
forward,
into the slot at the front of the VCR.
The power comes on automatically
and the tape indicator
lights on the display.
2. Turn on the TV and select the video channel
(3 or 4). Or, if you are hooked up
with a direct audiolvideo
cable, set the TV to AUX or VIDEO.
3. Press PLAY to start the tape.
4. Press STOP to end play.
Direct Video
Input to the TV
Normally
you would select channel
3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from the
VCR.
You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary video input
feature and if the TV and VCR have a direct video-to-video
hookup.
If this is the
case, do not select channel
3 or 4. Instead:
Press the AUX or VIDEO button on the TV's remote control to select the
proper input channel for playback.
To Fine Tune the Picture
Auto Tracking
Pressing
PLAY starts the auto tracking
feature, which adjusts the tuning to
eliminate
static lines that may appear on the screen.
Manual Tracking
Scratched
tapes or poorly recorded
tapes may require additional
picture
adjustment.
Press the CHANNEL
up or down button until picture becomes clear.
After operating
the tracking
manually,
eject the tape and reinsert it to reactivate
auto tracking.
Rewinding
the Tape
When you are done watching
a video, you can rewind the tape automatically
or
manually.
If the video cassette
reaches the end of the tape, the VCR will stop
and automatically
rewind the video cassette.
If you press POWER
while the tape
is rewinding,
the power will shut off automatically
after the tape has completely
rewound.
