Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Federal Communications Commission Warning: Any unau­thorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the users authority to operate it.
This VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Use only video cassette tapes that have the mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs. The 19 micron head provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is pro­vided to call the Cable TV system installers attention to Article 820­40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

Welcome to your VCR owners manual.
This manual describes the MVR430MG and the MVR630MG. The MVR430MG is a monaural (single-channel sound source) system, while the MVR630MG is a stereo (right and left-channel sound source) system. Otherwise, the two models are exactly the same.
In this manual, the MVR630MG is illustrated. (The MVR430MG has single AUDIO IN/OUT jacks. Otherwise, the MVR430MG looks exactly like the MVR630MG.)
• Your new product, its packaging, and this manual contain materials that can be recycled and reused.

Automatic Operation Features 37
The following playback features will always operate.
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on automati­cally. If the tapes record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, stop, eject the tape, then turn itself off. If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself off. If REPEATPLAY is ON, the VCR will not eject the tape automatical­ly or shut itself off. Playback will continue as set for Repeat Play.
Tape Eject
You can eject a tape with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR must be plugged in). If you have set a timer recording, you can only eject a tape with the VCR power on. Make sure you insert a tape and turn off the VCR power for the timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a bet­ter picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).
Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking during normal playback and slow motion playback, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR. (The CH(annel) o/p button on the remote control will not adjust tracking.) Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you press the STOP/p button or insert a tape. You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture. However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.

38 Multi-Channel Television Sound System (MVR630MG only)
To record and play programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a single-speaker TV, just use one of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 39-40.
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well. Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play that tape on the VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCRs stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the directions on page 39 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 40 to play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel youre watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
The indication 2ND AUD or TV STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if your VCR is receiving a second audio or stereo broadcast (as determined when you follow the steps on page
39). Although a program may be broad­cast in both stereo and second audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.
The indication 2ND AUDorSTEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if the program you’re watching is available in second audio or stereo. This indication is not avail­able during tape playback. Even though a program is available in stereo or second audio, you still must program the VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 39.

The VCR will not record a TV program.
Check the connections between the VCR, TV, antenna/cable, and Cable Box/Direct Broadcast System (if applicable). Details are on pages 6-10.
Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page 5.
Check the TV/VCR position. Details are on page 22.
Check the CH3/CH4 switch. Details are on pages 6-9.
The VCR will not perform a timer recording.
Make sure you set the recording start and stop times correctly. Details are on pages 28-31.
Make sure a tape is in the VCR and the tape has a record tab (page 5). If, after programming a timer

If the record tab on a tape is missing, the VCR will eject the tape. The Timer light will blink.
Make sure the VCR power is off.
Make sure you have set the clock correctly. Details are on page 15.
The VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if the power fails.
If you have a Cable Box/Direct Broadcast System, you will program timer recordings differently. Details are on page 8.
Finish programming a timer recording at least five minutes before the recording should begin.
12 p.m. is noon; 12 a.m. is midnight.
There is no playback picture or the playback picture is noisy or contains streaks.
Make sure the TV is on the same channel as the VCRs CH3/CH4 switch.
Make sure the VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR/TV light will appear on the display panel.)
Adjust channel 03 or 04 at the TV.
Adjust the tracking. Details are on page 37.
TVs that are too close to the VCR can cause interference during tape playback. Move the VCR away
from the TV.
The remote control will not operate the VCR.
Make sure the VCR/TV light appears on the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.
Aim the remote control directly at the VCRs remote sensor. Details are on page 22.

You can not insert a tape.
Insert the tape, window side up, with the record tab facing you.
Make sure a tape isnt already in the VCR by pressing the Stop/Eject C/A button on the VCR.
Gently push on the center of the tape when putting it in the VCR. Never force the tape into the VCR.
If you have programmed a timer recording and the VCR power is off, you can not insert a tape without
a record tab.
You can not remove a tape.
Connect the power plug to a power outlet.
You have set a timer recording. Turn on the VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape
and turn off the power for your timer recording.
VCR ejects the tape when you press the REC(ord)/OTR button or when you turn off the VCR power for a timer recording.
Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page 5.
Poor reception
You may need to tune your TV again.
The motor (cylinder) rotates even when the VCR is in Stop mode.
To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The quick play mechanism allows the tape mechanism to switch from Stop mode to Play mode in one second.
Direct Broadcast System Hookups
Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a DBS hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the DBS.
If you use audio and video cables to connect your DBS, VCR, and TV, you may have to put your VCR in Line Input mode (channel 001 or 002).
Line Input mode
If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the CH(annel) o/p button or use the Number buttons to select another channel.
Hi-Fi Stereo Sound (MVR630MG only)
During playback, Hi-Fi audio may temporarily revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking. This is normal.
When connecting the VCR to a stereo TV, you will only get stereo sound if you use audio cables to con­nect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line (Auxiliary) Input mode. See page 10 for details.
When you connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. But, as long as the VCR status display indicates you are receiving a stereo signal, you are receiving a stereo signal. This is normal.
Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will play in monaural audio.
Cleaning the Video Heads
Your VCR automatically cleans the video heads each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. If so, use a commercially-available head cleaner or have an authorized servicer clean the video heads. Eventually, you may need to replace the heads.
The playback picture is too dim, too bright, or fluctuates in brightness.
Some programs may be broadcast with copyright protection technology in order to protect the rights of copyright owners. This technology is used on programs that are recorded on video tapes or Digital Video Discs (DVDs), as well as some programs broadcast by antenna/cable/satellite television channels. Programs broadcast with copyright protection technology may not record clearly. Likewise, if you play a tape that is a recording of a copyright protected program, the picture may not be clear. Tapes of copy­right protected programs may have a picture that is dark or dim, or the brightness of the picture may fluctuate. Therefore, you should avoid recording or playing copies of copyright protected programs. This VCR incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.
