Basic Operations
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 go!
Viewing a Videocassette
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) using the number buttons of the TV's remote
control.
3. Press PLAY to start the tape.
4. Press STOP to end play.
If the safety tab has been removed and if you have set the MOVIE RETURN function to ON, the tape
automatically begins to play when you insert it.
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.
