Programming & Record/Playback Features

VCR Plus+™ Programming

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.

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, Variable Slow Motion and x2 Play–in 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.

Convenience

SmartClock™

This menu-driven feature automatically maintains the correct time, regularly checking and updating the time if necessary. It also resets the clock after a power failure. The menu-driven time zone feature allows selection of appropriate time for those who live in a time zone other than that of their CATV service provider.

Daylight Savings Timer

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 ▲▼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.

Gold-plated Front Panel Audio/Video Inputs

For added convenience when recording tapes directly from a camcorder to the VCR with the reliability of gold plating. In addition, accessory video equipment such as a video game or Web browser can be connected for direct playthrough to the TV set.
