Programming & Playback Features

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.

8-Event/1-Year Smart Programming

Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 8 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

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.

Auto Head Cleaner

Gently, automatically cleans the video heads each time a tape is inserted
or removed to maintain optimum picture performance during both
recording and playback.

Convenience

Daylight Savings Time Adjustment

This menu-driven feature automatically compensates for Daylight Savings
Time changes in early April and late October so you don’t have to reset
the clock twice a year. Simply activate the Daylight Savings Time option
in the Set Clock menu and forget it!

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.

Clock/Function Display

Continuously alerts you to all important recording and playback
conditions, correct time, counter position, tape speed, channel number,
etc. Bilingual (English/Spanish) 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.

Alternate Channel (for TV)

previously viewed TV channel at the press of a button without
affecting VCR.

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.

Timer/Programmer Backup System

Retains timer programming information for up to 1 full minute in the event
of momentary power interruptions.
