Playing a Tape
1. Tune the TV to your VCR viewing channel (3, 4, or TV’s video
input- see page 53 for more about the video input channel).
2. Insert a tape in the VCR.
If the Auto Play feature is set to ON, the tape automatically
begins playback (if the safety tab on the cassette is removed).
• Press FWD or REV to position the tape.
• Press PLAY•PAUSE (if necessary) on the VCR (PLAY on remote)
to begin tape play.
• Press PLAY•PAUSE (PAUSE on remote) for stop action.
• Press TRACK up or down to remove any streaks from the
picture, if necessary.
• Press STOP•EJECT on VCR (STOP on remote) to stop playback.
Automatic Rewind
The VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end of
the tape during playback. While rewinding, you can press
POWER and the VCR will turn off after rewinding.
Automatic Tracking
The VCR has automatic tracking
which adjusts the picture when
playing back a tape recorded on
another VCR. Automatic tracking is
turned on whenever a tape is
inserted or the VCR’s power is
turned on.
