Resumen del manual
Remember, dust, dirt and liquids are enemies of your tapes and VCR. To avoid aggravation later, apply the labels that come with new tapes. On them, write notes to yourself about what you recorded. 32 Basic Operations Basic Operations Basic Operations Practice starting and stopping a video you've rented - play it through, see how it automatically rewinds. Get a blank tape and try recording a TV show. Then you'll know how to use the VCR when you need to - or where in the manual to find the instructions you forgot. Let's go! Viewing a Videocassette To play Back a Recorded Tape 1. Insert the cassette, arrow-side forward, into the slot at the front of the VCR. The power comes on automatically and the tape indicator lights on the display. 2. Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4) using the number buttons on the TV's remote control. 3. Press PLAY to start the tape. 4. Press STOP to end play. Direct Video Input to the TV Normally you would select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from the VCR. You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary video input feature and if the TV and VCR have a direct video-to-video hookup. If this is the case, do not select channel 3 or 4. Instead: Press the AUX or VIDEO button on the TV's remote control to select the proper input channel for playback. To Fine Tune the Picture Auto Tracking Pressing PLAY starts the auto tracking feature, which adjusts the tuning to eliminate 33 static lines that may appear on the screen. Basic Operations Manual Tracking Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture adjustment. You can do this with the remote control. Press either of the TRACKING buttons (down or up arrows) until picture clears up. After operating the tracking manually, eject the tape and reinsert it to reactivate auto tracking. Rewinding the Tape When you are done watching a video, you can rewind the tape automatically or manually. If the video cassette reaches the end of the tape, the VCR will stop and automatically rewinds the videocassette. If you press POWER while the tape is rewinding, the power will shut off automatically after the tape has completely rewound. Manual Rewind Press STOP and REW. The VCR rewinds the tape all the way to the beginning, then stops. Press STOP/EJECT on the VCR to release the tape. Movie Return If your videocassette has the safety tab removed and you set the MOVIE functions to ON during initial setup, the VCR will stop and automatically rewind the videocassette, eject it, and turn off the power when it reaches the end of the tape or a blank section of tape which lasts for more than 30 seconds. This function works only in PLAYBACK mode, not in RECORDING mode. Special Playback Effects Part of the fun of video watching is being able to stop the action and take a closer look or repeat a favorite scene. You can view the tape in a variety of modes selected either from the remote control or from the SHUTTLE dial on the VCR. Still Playback (Pause) Press PAUSE to still the tape during play. The picture will "freeze". You may see some minor noise or interference on the screen. This is normal. After 5 minutes in PAUSE mode, the VCR automatically switches to STOP mode to protect the tape. If the screen jitters during PAUSE mode, use the remote's TRACKING buttons to minimize it. To resume play, press PAUSE again. Frame Advance 34 Basic Operations While in PAUSE mode during playback, press F.ADV to view the video one frame at a time. Press PAUSE to resume play. Skip Playback While playing back your tape you can skip forward by pressing the FRAME ADVANCE button. The tape will search ahead for about a minute and then resume playing. Slow Motion To slow the playback speed to exactly the pace you want, press PLAY, then one of the SLOW SPEED buttons. Press minus (-) to slow down, press plus (+) to speed up. The more times you press, the slower or faster the slow motion. Use the TRACKING buttons to minimize any visual noise bands on the screen. After 5 minutes in slow motion playback, the VCR will stop the tape automatically to prevent damage to the tape and the VCR. To return to playback at a normal speed, press PLAY. To stop the tape, press STOP. Using the Shuttle Control on the VCR The shuttle feature lets you control all the playback functions -play, pause, slow motion, double speed, and search - using one convenient dial. The button in the center lets you choose PLAY or PAUSE mode. The dial also works in the STOP mode. As you turn the dial you get different playback speeds and forward or reverse motion. Try using the shuttle to explore backwards and forwards through your next video. 35 Basic Operations If noise bars appear on the TV screen during SLOW/STILL mode, first set the VCR to SLOW mode and then press the TRACKING control buttons ( or ) on the remote control to minimize the noise bars. The noise bars are then eliminated automatically in the STILL mode. To Find Specific Sections on a Tape Visual S...
