CLOSED CAPTION  Activated through a special 
on-screen menu, the closed caption feature allows 
the hearing impaired to read dialogue and narratives 
(on Closed Caption telecasts) without the use of an 
optional, external decoding device. Program dialogue 
and narrative material is printed at the bottom of the 
screen. Excellent for development of language skills 
and private viewing without disturbing others as well.
AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SETUP  Activating this
feature allows the VCR tuner to scan through 
television frequencies, automatically storing active 
broadcast channels into memory.Then, only active 
channels programmed into memory are tuned, using 
the channel up/down buttons on either the remote 
or front panel of the VCR. Automatic channel preset 
can be repeated whenever desired, should new 
channels become available. Channels can be manually 
added or deleted.
FRONT PANEL AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS Enjoy the
added convenience of recording tapes directly from a 
camcorder to the VCR portion with a full color 
monitor built in. And as a bonus, accessory video 
equipment such as a video game, DVD player, or 
web browser can be connected for direct 
playthrough to the TV section.
181-CHANNEL FS TUNING  The digital quartz
tuner is capable of receiving up to 181 channels, 
including UHF, VHF, and 113 cable channels, without 
the inconvenience and expense of a cable company 
decoder/converter (on non-scrambled cable systems). 
Channel tuning is by random access with the remote 
control transmitter or scan tuning up and down by 
remote or at the set.
BILINGUAL (ENGLISH/SPANISH) ON-SCREEN 
FUNCTION DISPLAY  
Indicates record/playback 
functions, channel number, clock setting, date, 
counter, programming, one-touch record, and record 
standby, keeping the user alerted to the status of all 
features in a heads up, on-screen display.
ON-SCREEN, REAL-TIME COUNTER  Unlike the
0000 to 9999 tape counters found in standard 
Combis, this unit incorporates a linear, real-time 
counter which shows elapsed recording and/or 
playback time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
TIMER/PROGRAMMER BACKUP MEMORY
Retains timer/programming information indefinitely in 
the event of power failure.
SLEEP TIMER  This set will automatically shut off at
a preset time of up to 120 minutes from the time the 
feature is activated. Sleep timer settings are 
programmed in 15-minute increments.
EARPHONE JACK  Plug in a personal earphone
and enjoy your favorite movie, music video, video 
game, or surf the net without disturbing other 
family members in the room. This unique feature 
allows people in your household to use different 
electronic entertainment media while in the same 
room. The jack is compatible with all standard 3.5 
mm phono plugs.
A-B REPEAT PLAY  Now you can play a single
segment of any videotape over and over again with 
A-B Repeat. Using the on-screen menu, simply 
program the start and stop positions of whatever 
segment you want to repeat, regardless of length (as 
long as it is no less than three minutes). Great for selfhelp videos, training tapes, and instructional material.
REPEAT PLAY  When the Combi recognizes no
recorded signal or reaches the end of a tape with 
the Repeat Play control activated, it will 
automatically rewind to the beginning and enter 
the Play mode again. Repeat Play can be 
discontinued by touching the button a second time 
or by changing operation mode.
QUICK START MECHANISM  Quickly and
effortlessly switches the tape mechanism from Stop to 
Play in only one second, instead of the approximately 
5 1/4 seconds of older models.
REWIND/OFF  Turn off power to the Combi during
rewind rather than waiting until rewind is completed. 
When power is turned off during rewind, the unit 
continues the rewind operation to the end of the 
tape, then automatically shuts the unit off. And, if 
the timer has been set for unattended recording, the 
unit will place itself in the timer mode after 
rewinding the tape.
ONE-TOUCH RECORD  Record up to eight
hours or to the end of the tape with the 
touch of a single button. Each touch of the 
OTR button adds 30 minutes of additional 
recording time.
8 -EVENT/1 YEAR SMART PROGRAMMING
Program your VCR for unattended recording of up 
to eight separate programs over a full 365-day 
period. No manual setting, adjusting, or 
programming of the calendar function is required.
REMOTE CONTROL ON-SCREEN MENU 
PROGRAMMING  
Program by remote control 
for unattended recording, with programming 
instructions on screen for visual verification. 
On-screen menus lead you through normal, 
daily, or weekly programming by program 
number, channel to be recorded, start and stop 
times, speed, and date of recording by day, 
month, and year. Pushing the CLEAR button 
allows you to go back and reprogram over 
mistakes, and pushing the MENU button at the 
end of programming verifies that instructions 
are locked into memory.
DIGITAL AUTO TRACKING SYSTEM  When
tape playback begins, this feature automatically 
seeks the optimum tracking position in the 
tracking range, and the optimum audio signal 
tracking position for clearest picture and sound 
from videotapes. Controls are provided on the 
remote transmitter to give you manual control 
should tracking adjustments be necessary.
AUTO HEAD CLEANER  Gently and
automatically cleans the video heads each time a 
tape is inserted or removed to maintain 
optimum picture performance during both 
recording and playback.
SMARTCLOCK™  Once activated, this
menu-driven feature will automatically maintain 
the correct time, regularly checking and 
updating the time if necessary. This function will 
also reset the clock after a power failure.The 
menu-driven time zone feature allows 
selection of appropriate time for those who 
live in a time zone other than that of their 
CATV service provider.
