..................................................
What is a video recorder?
Simply, it is a machine which stores pictures and
sound on magnetic tape. This VCR uses VHS
cassettes, and since VHS is the most popular video
system in the world, there are plenty to choose from.
Suffice it to say that a cassette from another kind of
VCR cannot be used on this VCR. Ensure that you
only buy VHS cassettes of the best quality to get the
best results from this VCR.
The VCR is a television receiver in its own right. When
you record a TV program, it is being received by the
video recorder, not by your TV set. This means that
you can record one TV program on the VCR while you
watch another which is being received by the TV set.
Your VCR has two big enemies: other electrical
machines, and condensation. Read the instructions for
instaliation carefuily, with special regard to the
proximity of other eiectricai devices, and make sure
that you never, either during installation or ever in the
future — put a cassette, still cold from your shopping
basket or car, into the VCR without first ietting it stand
in the room for at ieast two hours to acciimatize.
Positioning
Do not piace the VCR directiy on top of, or
underneath, your TV set. Ensure that there is at least
20 cm between the VCR and the TV set, and that air
can circulate freely through the ventilation openings of
the VCR.

Auto Operation Functions
Auto Playback
When a tape is inserted, the power comes on.

Auto Tracking Control
With Auto Tracking there is usually no need for manual adjustments
to minimize noise in playback for most tapes. Auto Tracking
continuously analyzes the signal to adjust for optimum picture
quality for each recording. However, with some recordings you may
get a better result using the TRACKING UP/DOWN buttons.
Manual Tracking Controls
Press the TRACKING UP/DOWN buttons.
Use Manual Tracking adjustment during playback, slow motion, and
double speed playback to minimize noise in the picture.
Also, use these buttons to reduce jitter in a stiU picture. Once you
make this adjustment, you probably will not have to do it again unless you select Still mode while playing a tape recorded on a
different VCR.
To cancel manual tracking, stop the tape, eject the tape, then re-insert
it. Each time a tape is inserted automatic tracking is engaged.

Notes on Operations 25
Hook Up Your VCR
• If the reception on all channels is unsatisfactory, you may
need to re-tune your TV set.
Clock Adjustment
• In the Clock Adjustment mode, be sure to enter the first
digit and all subsequent entries within 10 seconds of one
another. Otherwise, the VCR will automatically leave this
mode and the program you were watching will return to
the screen. If tiiis happens, press the MENU button and
start again.
• Be sure to enter “0” before single-digit numbers.
• The letters indicating the day of the week will appear
when you have entered both digits for the year.
• If the digits entered for the day do not match the calendar,
the entry will be rejected and “?” will appear.
• If you press the MENU button while in the Clock Set
mode, the TV screen will return to the program you were
watching.
Special Playback Features
• During search playback, horizontal noise bars will appear
on the TV screen.
• After the VCR has been in the Still mode for 5 minutes, it
will automatically go to the Stop mode to protect the tape
and video heads.
• Special-effects playback can be used during playback of
tapes recorded in the SP or SLP mode. Tapes recorded in
the LP mode cannot be viewed in special-effects
playback.
To Record
• Although it is possible to change the tape speed while
you are recording, some distortion will appear on the tape
at the point where you make the change.
• After the VCR has been in the Pause mode for 5 minutes,
it will automatically go to the Stop mode to protect the
tape and video heads.
One Touch Recording (OTR)
• If the preset time for a timer recording comes up during
OTR recording, OTR has priority.
VHS Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
• A difference in audio level may be detected between HiFi and normal audio playback.
• While adjusting tracing control, Hi-Fi audio sound may
revert to normal audio sound. This is normal.
• To record audio, a video signal is required for proper
speed accuracy.
• When you hook the audio output jacks on your VCR to
the audio input jacks on your stereo TV, the stereo light
on the TV might not glow. This is normal. As long as
your VCR indicates a stereo signal and the correct
connections made (see page 23), you are receiving a
stereo signal.
• When connecting this VCR to a stereo TV, you will only
get stereo sound on your TV if you use audio cables and
connect the VCR’s audio output jacks to the stereo TV’s
audio input jacks and the TV is switched to the Line (or
Auxiliary) Input.
• If the Hi-Fi sound keeps reverting to normal (monaural)
sound during playback, you may want to change
“AUDIO OUT’’ to “MONO,” see NOTE on pap 24.
• Only Hi-Fi stereo tapes will play back in the Hi-Fi stereo
mode. Tapes with standard stereo sound will play back in
monaural sound.
Timer Recording
• To do a timer recording in the LINE mode, follow steps
1- 4 in “Timer Recording” section. At step 5, press the
NUMBER button 0 twice (0,0) to engage the LINE
(external source) mode. Complete the rest of the steps
under “Timer Recording” section.
• Timer recording may not be performed or continued if a
power interruption of more than one minute occurs
before or during timer recording, even if power resumes
thereafter. Preset clock and timer data will be lost. This is
indicated by the clock display on the VCR which resets
to If this happens, reset the clock and program
the timer.
• If the time spans of two preset programs overlap, the
lower-numbered program will have priority and the
second program will start only after the first program has
been executed.
• If the POWER button is pressed to OFF with no cassette
loaded, the TIMER and “Cassette Inside” indicators will
continue blinking.
• If the record tab is missing, the cassette will be ejected
when the POWER button is pressed to OFF, and the
TIMER and “Cassette Inside” indicators will continue
blinking.
Power Failure
• Timer Recordings will be erased if the power fails.
Repeat “Set the Clock” on page 9 before setting up a
“Timer Recording” on pages 15-16.
Satellite Hook-Up
• Watching one TV channel while recording another may
not be possible with a satellite hook-up.
• You may have to set yoin VCR to channel 3 or 4 and
make your channel selections at the satellite converter
box.
Line Input
• If you accidentally get into the Line mode (“L” appears
on the VCR), simply press the VCR CH(annel)
UP/DOWN button or select a channel using the
NUMBER buttons to exit.
MTS (Multi-Channel Television Sound) Broadcast Stereo System
• When stereo or second audio program is recorded on this
VCR and played back on a conventional VHS VCR, the
playback sound will be from the normal sound track.
• Once SAP is selected, if no SAP is available, the VCR
reverts to non-SAP (normal) audio.

some vertical jitter when using a TV which has an
Automatic Vertical Hold Control...
If the top of your playback picture waves back and forth
excessively...
■ Set the TV’s Vertical Hold Control, if available, to
“MANUAL” and adjust.
• Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an
off-the-air TV signal, the top of your TV screen may be
bent or unstable during playback. To solve this problem,
slowly turn the HORIZONTAL HOLD control on your
TV to correct the wavy picture. If your TV does not have
the horizontal hold control or adjusting the control does
not help, please contact your local TV service center.
