Manual Tracking
Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture adjustment.
You can do this with the remote control. 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 videocassette. 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.
Movie Return
If your videocassette has the safety tab removed and you set the MOVIE functions 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 either
from the remote control or from the SHUTTLE dial on the VCR.
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 mode, use the remote's TRACKING buttons to
minimize it.
To resume play, press PAUSE again.
