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 once.
5. If a tape without a safety tab is inserted the unit
starts playback automatically.
If not, press N (PLAY).
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 playback
because it is automatically selected by the DVD+VCR.
Also, during playback the TV/VCR selector 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 backward. 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 N (PLAY).
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 N (PLAY).
Note:
After 5 minutes in STILL mode the DVD+VCR stops to
protect the tape and video heads.
