Press the VCR button to select the device to be oper-
ated.
Basic Instructions
1. Turn on the TV.
2. Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel
(CH 3 or 4) or if a direct VIDEO/AUDIO
connection is made between the DVD+VCR and
the TV, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.
3. Insert a pre-recorded video cassette.
The indicator lights and the DVD+VCR
powers on automatically.
4. If the (TIMER) indicator in the display window
is lit, press POWER (1) once.
5. If a tape without a safety tab is inserted the unit
starts playback automatically.
If not, press PLAY (N).
6. Press STOP (x) to stop playback. If the tape
reaches the end before you press STOP (x) the
DVD+VCR automatically stops, rewinds and
ejects the tape.
Note:
It is not necessary to select the tape speed for play-
back because it is automatically selected by the
DVD+VCR. Also, during playback the TV/VCR selec-
tor switches to VCR mode automatically.
Auto Tracking
Automatic tracking adjusts the picture to remove
snow or streaks and beings when:
• A tape is played for the first time.
• The tape speed (SP, LP, SLP) changes.
• Streaks or snow appear due to scratches on the
tape.
Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking use the CH/TRK (v/V)
buttons on the remote control or CH (v/V) on the front
panel during playback.
Notes:
• Vertical jitter requires a very fine adjustment.
• Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the
tape is ejected or the power cord is unplugged for
more than 3 seconds.
Search
This function lets you visually search for a tape sec-
tion in either direction: forward and reverse. During
the high-speed picture search modes, the audio is
muted and horizontal lines (noise bars) appear. Also,
a short time is needed to stabilize the tape speed
when re-entering the PLAY mode so slight interfer-
ence may be observed during this time.
To search:
1. Press BACKWARD (m) or FORWARD (M)
during playback.
2. To return to playback, press PLAY (N).
Note:
After 3 minutes in SEARCH mode the DVD+VCR
returns to PLAY mode to protect the tape and video
heads.
Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame Playback
1. Press PAUSE/STEP (X) during playback.
A still picture appears on the TV screen and the
audio is muted.
2 If the still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by
using CH/TRK (v/V) on the remote control.
3. Press PAUSE/STEP (X) repeatedly to advance
the video picture one frame at a time.
4. To return to playback, press PLAY (N).
Note:
After 5 minutes in STILL mode the DVD+VCR stops
to protect the tape and video heads.
