Programming and Playback Features

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound with Built-In MTS/SAP Decoder

Record stereo videotapes from stereo sound sources and playback
pre-recorded hi-fi stereo tapes in hi-fi stereo sound using two audio heads and
four video heads. Delivers an excellent 90dB+ dynamic range–through a stereo­equipped TV or regular TV and stereo hi-fi home audio system.The built-in
MTS/SAP decoder allows reception and recording of off-air television stereo
broadcasts and second audio program transmissions,where available. Back-up
memory logic retains the cable channel guide map indefinitely even during a
power failure or when the VCR is disconnected from its power source.

VCR Plus+™ Easy Taping

Simplifies VCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode®
programming numbers found in many published television listings.When
recording begins, your VCR automatically selects the proper TV channel and
program length. Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel guide map
indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is disconnected
from its power source.

Auto DBS RecordLink™

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.
