BASIC OPERATION

SCART LEAD CONNECTION (NOT SUPPLIED)

A scart lead can be connected at any time. It is recommended to connect your TV and VCR in this way as it will provide improved picture and sound quality. Please refer to the connection diagram on page 4.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO TAPES

VIDEO TAPES

• If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the video heads.

• If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide from the tape may "clog" the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be "snowy", or even disappear.

• To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.

• Use video tapes which carry the mark.

SECAMPAL

HOW TO PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE

BEFORE YOU PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE

To display the amount of video tape remaining:

1. Load the video tape into the VCR

2. Press DISPLAY on the remote control as many times as necessary until “R” appears on

the VCR display. The tape will wind forward and then return to its original position. The tape remaining will be shown on the VCR display in hours and minutes.

For example, if 1 hour 23 minutes is left on the tape:

PLAYBACK OF A VIDEO TAPE

PLAYING BACK AN S-VHS TAPE

S-VHS (super -VHS) pre-recorded tapes give you a better quality playback picture with increased detail and depth.

Your VCR will automatically recognise which type of tape is being used, VHS or S-VHS and playback the appropriate standard accordingly.

NOTES:

• All of the VCR’s playback functions can be used during S-VHS playback, SLOW, PLAY/X2, VISUAL SEARCH, etc.

• Your VCR is S-VHS playback only, it will not record S-VHS.

• Some picture noise may be observed on the screen in Long Play (LP) mode.

PLAYING BACK AN NTSC TAPE

NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a different TV standard to PAL and is used in some Non-European Countries. Your VCR can playback pre-recorded NTSC tapes onto a PAL system TV, but cannot record an NTSC signal onto a video tape.

Note that..

• You cannot record NTSC signals or dub NTSC tapes onto other VCR’s from this VCR.

• You cannot use Slow speed, Still frame, Double Speed, Frame Advance or Tape Remaining with a pre-recorded NTSC tape.

• On some televisions, the picture may appear in black and white or there may be no picture. This does not indicate a fault with your VCR.

• On some televisions, the picture may shrink vertically causing black bands to appear at the top and bottom of your screen.

• On some televisions, the played-back picture may roll vertically, this does not indicate a fault with your VCR.

DECODER SWITCHING OPERATION

If you connect a separate decoder to the VCR connected to L2 as previously shown, you will need to set the decoder function to ON in order to record the descrambled signal and/or watch it on your TV. Now, when the VCR receives a scrambled signal it is output via LINE 2 terminal to the decoder. The decoder then outputs the descrambled signal back to LINE 2 terminal and the signal can be recorded. The VCR outputs the descrambled signal to your TV through the LINE1 terminal and you can watch the descrambled picture.

When making recordings using a separate decoder connected as shown remember to leave the decoder function ON.

If you connect a decoder unit to the VCR, the decoder unit provides a switching signal which will automatically allow your TV to display the descrambled signal routed through the VCR. To use this feature make sure that the VCR is connected to both TV and decoder unit by SCART leads. Then:

• Press STANDBY to place the VCR in Stand-by mode, OR

• Press [TV/VCR] on the remote control to place the VCR in ‘VCR mode’. ‘VCR’ will appear on the display.

If you switch the decoder function ON when connected to a decoder unit as shown you will NOT be able to watch the descrambled picture in TV mode or in VCR mode.
