Programming & Record/Playback Features

Auto Satellite Link™

If you own a satellite dish, this is the feature you’ve been waiting for. Set
your DBS receiver to turn on and tune in to a specific program and it will
automatically turn on the VCR in the record mode and then turn off
when the DBS receiver turns off.The secret is in the A/V input jack panel.
It senses the presence of a video signal…and the rest is history.

One-Touch Record

Record up to 8 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.

7-Event/1-Year Smart Programming

Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 7 separate programs
over a full 365-day period.No manual setting, adjusting,or programming
of the calendar function is required.

Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming

Program by remote control for unattended recording, with programming
instructions onscreen for visual verification. Onscreen 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.Pressing the clear button lets you go back and
reprogram over mistakes, and pressing the menu button at the end of
programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.

Picture

4-Head, Double Azimuth Design

Combines direct drive cylinder and capstan motors with precision digital
servo control to produce excellent special effects reproduction–Still,
Slow,and with the appropriate remote control, Frame Advance and
Variable Slow Motion–at both SP and SLP speeds.

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. Buttons on the remote trans­mitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

Rental Play

Get your money’s worth from “well-used” rental tapes by improving the
picture quality.Activate Rental Play, relax, and enjoy your favorite video
with exceptional clarity and smooth, even detail.

Convenience

Automatic Channel Setup

The VCR tuner scans through television frequencies, automatically storing
active broadcast channel 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.

181-Channel FS Tuning

The digital quartz tuner can receive 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.

LED Function Indicators

Alerts you to the status of all important recording and playback features
with simple, easily recognized, international symbols.

Bilingual (English/French) Onscreen Function Display

Indicates record/playback functions,channel number,clock setting, date,
counter, programming, one-touch record and record standby, keeping you
alert to the status of all features in a heads-up onscreen display.

incorporates a linear, real-time counter which shows elapse time in hours,
minutes, and seconds. Now you can advance or return to selected tape seg­ments in any time increment you desire.

of momentary power interruptions.
