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
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 noise bars appear on the TV screen during PAUSE mode, first set the
VCR to SLOW mode and then press the 1 or 4 button on the remote
control to minimize the noise bars.
If the screen jitters during PAUSE, press either 1 or 4 button to minimize it.
To resume play, press PLAY or PAUSE again.
Frame Advance
While in PAUSE mode during playback, press 9 button to view the video
one frame at a time. Press PAUSE to resume play.
Skip Playback
While playing back your tape you can skip forward by pressing the 9
button. The tape will search ahead for about a minute and then resume
playing.
Slow Motion
To slow the playback speed to exactly the pace you want, press PLAY,
then then press 3 or 6 button. Press 6 to slow down, press 3 to speed up.
The more times you press, the slower or faster the slow motion.
Use the 1 or 4 button to minimize any visual noise bands on the screen.
After 5 minutes in slow motion playback, the VCR will stop the tape
automatically to prevent damage to the tape and the VCR.
To return to playback at a normal speed, press PLAY. To stop the tape,
press STOP.
