SPECIAL FEATURES Picture Search(SP/LP/SLP Mode) You may view a video tape at a high speed in either a forward or reverse direction. This feature is useful in finding or skipping over a particular scene on a tape. In this mode, the sound will be muted. Forward Direction: When in the Play mode, press F.FWD button to view the tape at a fast speed in the forward direction. Reverse Direction: To view the tape at a fast speed in the reverse direction, press REW button in the Play mode. For normal speed, simply press PLAY button. Super High Speed Search (LP/SLP Mode) For Picture Search in super high speed: 1) Press either F.FWD or REW button while the unit is in the Play mode. 2) Release button. 3) Depress it again. The unit will now search in super high speed. For normal playback simply press PLAY button. Vertical Hold Control When the picture begins to vibrate vertically, adjust to stabilize the picture by pressing CHANNEL A or V button. NOTES: • This adjustment works only in the Still mode with CHANNEL A or V button. • When the picture is distorted or rolling vertically, adjust vertical hold control on your TV. • Some newer TV's do not have a user adjustable ver- tical hold control. Still Picture During Playback If you press PAUSE button during playback, the picture will "freeze" on the screen. You may use this feature to study details of a particular scene. Press PLAY button to continue playback. NOTE: The VCR will automatically switch to the Stop mode, if it is left in the Pause mode for more than five minutes. Noise Cancelling If you use the PAUSE button to freeze the picture during playback with tapes recorded in SLP mode, usually there will be video "noise" lines on the screen. This is normal, however, this VCR has a special feature that allows you to reposition or reduce the lines. Each time you press PAUSE button the lines will change position on the screen. This enables you to see the picture in its entirety without distracting noise lines. If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP mode, the still picture will, in addition to the "noise" lines, be black and white. THIS IS NOT A FAULT OF THE MACHINE BUT MERELY A BY-PRODUCT OF THE TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED IN PRODUCING A VCR WITH A LONG-PLAY MODE. Tracking Adjustment • Tracking adjustment will be set automatically (Digital TRacking function) when you start playback. "DTR" appears on the display. • When playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorded on units other than your own, noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the playback picture. If this occurs, adjust the tracking control by pressing CHANNEL A or V button until the streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback again. • To set center position, press both CHANNEL A or v button at the same time. NOTE: This function is controlled only by the buttons on the VCR. The buttons on the remote control will no adjust tracking. Auto Rewind When the end of a tape is reached during recording, playback, or fast-forward, the tape will automatically rewind to the beginning (or to the 0:00:00 counter reading if the memory function is activated), eject, and the VCR will turn off. NOTES: • The tape will not auto-rewind during timer recording or One Touch Recording. • When the tape is rewound to the preset memory position, the tape will not eject and the VCR will not turn off. - 29 - EN
