standards and at different tape speeds.
FULL AUTO PLAY FUNCTION
The
audio outputs at
the
AUDIO
OUT
R/L-MONO
jacks
are
available
in
several different modes.
The
AUDIO
OUT button on the remote control is
used to make a selection from these modes in a cyclic sequence.
1)Normally the VCR should be placed in Hi-Fi mode, in which the indicators
IT]
and
[}[]
are lit up on the fluorescent display and the OSD, and

is displayed for some time on the TV screen.
In Hi-Fi mode the VCR can play tapes with stereo or bilingual audio (main
channel from the left, and sub channel from the right).
2) Pressing the AUDIO
OUT
button the first time sends only the left-channel
audio to both the AUDIO
OUT
Rand
L-MONO jacks.
3) Pressing the button a second time sends only the right-channel audio to
both the AUDIO OUT
Rand
L-MONO jacks.
4) Pressing it a third time sends the mono audio recorded on the linear track
to both AUDIO OUT
Rand
L-MONO jacks.
Pressing the AUDIO
OUT
button on the remote control selects one of four
audio modes described above in a cyclic sequence.
NOTE:
• The VCR will automatically switch into mono mode from the linear audio track if
the quality of the Hi-Fi audio tracks is too poor, or if the tracking is "out".
The convenient auto play feature lets you save some manual operation steps
in tape playback.
When a cassette with its erasure prevention tab removed is loaded into the
VCR, the deck automatically turns itself on and starts playback. When the end
of
the
tape
is reached,
the
VCR
automatically
rewinds
the
tape
to
the
beginning and ejects it.

• The vertical raster size is slightly smaller than normal. This is not a machine
malfunction.
• If the PAL TV
lacks
a
V-HOLD
control,
you
cannot
view
NTSC
video
programmes because the vertical synchronization will remain "out." If your
PAL
TV
has a V-HOLD control, you can enjoy NTSC videos by stabilizing
the vertical sync. with the V-HOLD knob.

Should this occur, colour can be restored by pressing the TRACKING
.....
or
... button while in Video Search or Slow mode.
