Manual Tracking
Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture adjustment. You can do this with
the remote control. Press VCR1 or VCR2 on respective mode, then press either of the TRACKING
buttons (down or up arrows) until picture clears up.
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 rewinds the video cassette. If
you press POWER while the tape is rewinding, the power will shut off automatically after the tape has
completely rewound.
Manual Rewind
Press STOP and REW. The VCR rewinds the tape all the way to the beginning, then stops. Press
STOP/EJECT on the VCR to release the tape.
Automatic Rewind (Movie Return)
If your videocassette has the safety tab removed and you set the MOVIE RETURN function to ON during
initial setup, the VCR will stop and automatically rewind the videocassette, eject it, and turn off the power
when it reaches the end of the tape or a blank section of tape which lasts for more than 30 seconds.
This function works only in PLAYBACK mode, not in RECORDING mode.
Special Playback Effects
Part of the fun of video watching is being able to stop the action and take a closer look or repeat a favorite
scene. You can view the tape in a variety of modes selected from the remote control.
Still Playback (Pause)
Press PAUSE to still the tape during play. The picture will "freeze". You may see some minor noise or
interference on the screen. This is normal.
After 5 minutes in PAUSE mode, the VCR automatically switches to STOP mode to protect the tape.
If the screen jitters during PAUSE, use the remote's TRACKING buttons to minimize it (see Manual
Tracking).
To resume play, press PAUSE again.
