QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached

during playback or search?

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?
A.
No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect

the heads.

Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame

playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the
problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,

the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?

A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are

attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing
PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the

picture.

Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal

playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be
concerned about this?

A. No, it is normal.

Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s

the problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect

does removing the safety tab have?

A. It disables marking of index codes.

Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find

the program I want to see. Why not?

A. There may be index codes too close together.

Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators

sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?

A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not

good, jittering of the video (including on-screen
indicators) may occur.

RECORDING

Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end

of the recording before the pause is overlapped by
the new recording. Why does this happen?

A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and

resume points.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause

mode?

A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode

after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused
during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts

off automatically after 5 minutes.

Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?
A.
The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.

TIMER RECORDING

Q. REC and TIMER remain lit on the front display panel.

Is there a problem?

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in

progress.

Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape

or a TV broadcast?

A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the on-

screen menu, but the audio from the program or tape
you’re viewing is present.
