Before Using Your VCR 5

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

• Do not put objects between the remote control and the VCR.

• Point the remote control at the device you are operating.

• Press the VCR button before pressing other VCR buttons; press

the TV button before pressing other TV buttons; press the SAT/CBL/DBS button before pressing other Satellite Receiver/Cable Box/DBS buttons. Details are on pages 24-27.

• The remote control and its batteries are supplied.

• Do not mix alkaline and manganese batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• A label may protect the front panel of your VCR. Before using the VCR, lift a corner of the label, then peel it off.

Helpful Hints

VCR Maintenance/Video Head Cleaning

•Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette

before putting the cassette in the VCR. Removable labels can jam the VCR.

•Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s perfor-

mance. Your VCR automatically cleans the video heads each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” may appear on the screen, or “U:01” may appear on the VCR display panel. Details are on page 79.

Erase Protection

Video cassettes have record tabs to ensure that recordings are not erased accidentally.

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a screwdriver.

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

To remove the battery compartment lid, push in the tab, then pull up the lid.

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their +and – ends aligned as indicated.

Use an RF coaxial cable (supplied) to connect the OUT jack on the Cable Box/DBS to the ANTENNA IN jack on the VCR.

Use a second RF coaxial cable to connect the TV OUT jack on the VCR to the TV’s ANTENNA INjack.

Recording/Viewing Any Channel

With the VCR on and in VCR position (the VCR light will appear on the display panel), use the CH(annel) 8/9 button to set the VCR to the Cable Box/DBS output channel.

Set the TV to the same channel to which you set the VCR. Set the CH3/CH4 switch on the VCR to the same channel.

Select the channel you want to view/record at the Cable Box/DBS.

There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the VCR. With this connection:

• You may view any channel.

• You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the VCR.

• You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.

• You may not set up channels at the VCR.

• You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time if you are not using the Controller. Set the VCR to the Cable Box/DBS output channel; set the CH3/CH4 switch to CH3 or CH4, whichever channel is not used or least used in your area, and set the TV to the same channel. Set your Cable Box/DBS to the channel you want to record. When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select the Cable Box/DBS output channel. (This is step 3 on page 40.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for a timer recording.

The VR1010BP allows recording in Super VHS ET (Expansion Technology). You can play back those cassettes recorded in SVHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET. You can record with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes.

Before you begin the recording, press the S-VHS ET button on the front of the VCR so that the button lights.

When the button is lit, recordings will be in S-VHS format.

• Pressing the S-VHS ET button has no effect on an S-VHS tape.

• To obtain the highest quality recording and to play pictures over a longer period, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is recommended.

• Label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.

• S-VHS ET recordings can be played on an S-VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK). However, there may be cases where S-VHSET playback is not possible on a particular VCR.

• Frequent still, frame-by-frame, and slow motion playback may damage the tape and cause the picture quality to decline.

• With some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. Test a recording first to make sure better results can be obtained.

• Use high grade tapes for good results.

Helpful Hints

When recording is finished, press the S-VHS ET button again to cancel S-VHS ET recording.

First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR Plus+ programming system to work properly. Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local channel information. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel list, if applicable (you can request one from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

NOTE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS and are not using the Controller, the Cable/TV channel must be the Cable Box/DBS output channel for every VCR Plus+ channel.

If a program is recording in SP and there is not enough tape to record the entire program, the VCR automatically switches to SLP to allow complete recording if TIMER REC SPEED is set to AUTO. This feature is especially useful when you set a timer recording for a program that is more than two hours long. For example, when you record a program of 140 minutes in length onto a 120-minute tape, the program is recorded in SP for about 110 minutes and in SLP for about 30 minutes.

Press the VCR button, then press the MENU button.

Press the PLAY 8 or STOP 9 button to select VCR SET UP, then press the OK/STATUS button.

Press the STOP 9 button repeatedly to select TIMER REC SPEED, then press the FF - button so that AUTO appears beside TIMER REC SPEED. (To turn off this feature,

press the FF - button so that MANUAL appears beside TIMER REC SPEED.)

Press the VCR button, then press the SMARTPICTURE button. The current setting will appear on the screen for about five seconds.

AUTO/NATURAL: This is generally the preferred setting. If

DSPC is ON, AUTO may be selected. This means the VCR is setting the picture quality with DSPC. If DSPC is OFF, the SmartPicture setting may be NATURAL, meaning the original picture appears and the VCR does not adjust the picture quality.

Details about DSPC are on page 60.

DISTINCT: Choose to emphasize details in the picture. SOFT: Choose to soften the picture. SHARP: Choose to emphasize the edge of the pic-

ture.

Index Search

When you make a recording, the VCR automatically places an index code at the beginning of the recording. Essentially, an index code is a type of “bookmark” for your tape. This feature is useful if you have several different programs recorded on a single tape. Fast forward or rewind to the next or previous index code on the tape by following the steps below.

Press the VCR button. Make sure the VCR is in VCR position.

(The VCR light will appear on the display panel when the VCR is in VCR position.) If the VCR light does not appear, press

the VCR/TV button once.

• To stop an Index Search that is in progress, press the STOP 9 button.

• The VCR does not place an index code at the point where a recording is paused, then resumed.

• INDEX may flash on the screen briefly when you begin a recording.

• Press the STOP 9 button to cancel a Skip Search.

• If the end of the tape is reached during a Skip Search or an Index Search, the VCR will cancel the search and rewind the tape.

• The Index Search will not work if the Tape Manager is in use. Details are on pages 64-73.

Helpful Hints

This function enables you to skip forward 30 seconds at a time during tape playback.

During tape playback, press the VCR button, then press the SKIP SEARCH button. Each time you press the SKIP

SEARCH button, the tape will skip forward 30 seconds, then resume normal playback. You can skip up to two minutes at a time using Skip Search.

Search Options 61

Insert a tape in the VCR. Press the INDEX SEARCH --7 button to fast forward to the next index code on the tape. Or, press the INDEX SEARCH button 7// to rewind to the previous index code on the tape (or to the beginning of the current recording).Wait for the VCR to fast forward or

rewind the tape.When the index code is reached, tape playback will begin automatically. NOTE: You may press an INDEX SEARCH button repeatedly to skip over multiple recordings. For example, if you want to fast forward past four recordings, press the INDEX SEARCH --7 button four times. INDEX 4 will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. The index codes will count down on the screen as the search progresses. (ON SCREEN MODE can not be set to OFF. Details are on page 28.)

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. When you insert a tape, tape manager information may appear and the VCR may search for tape manager information. To avoid this brief delay, set TAPE MANAGER to OFF. Details are on page 73.

Automatic Rewind

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, then stop. The VCR will not rewind the tape if the end of the tape is reached during a One-Touch Recording.

Details are on page 34.

Memory Rewind, Power Off

When the POWER button is pressed while the VCR is rewinding a tape, REWIND→POWER OFF will appear on the screen. When the tape has finished rewinding, the VCR will stop, then turn itself off.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed, the rand Cassette-Inside lights will flash on the VCR’s display panel after you eject a tape with the VCR power turned off. Make sure you insert a tape for the timer recording.

Counter Reset

The real-time counter will reset to 0:00:00 when you insert a cassette. To reset the real-time counter to 0:00:00 at anytime, press the CLEAR button on the remote control.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The VCR continually adjusts tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture by adjusting the tracking manually (see below).

Manual Tracking Adjustment

• Press the CHANNEL 8/9 buttons on the front of the VCR or the CH(annel) 8/9 button on the remote control to remove jitter in a still picture.

• The CH(annel) 8/9 buttons on the remote control and the CHANNEL 8/9 buttons on the front of the VCR adjust tracking during normal tape playback and slow motion playback.

• To return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment during normal tape playback, press the CHANNEL 8/9 buttons on the VCR at the same time.

• The VCR returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment whenever a tape is insert ed.

• If USE CLEANING CASSETTE appears on the screen or if “U:01” appears on the display panel, you may need to adjust the tracking. These messages may appear briefly every seven seconds during tape playback. The messages will appear until you adjust the tracking, reinsert the tape, or clean the video heads. Details are on page 79.
