Cassette tape playback
Preparation: � Turn ON the TV and select its AV channel (this may be labelled EXT / AUX etc.) � Press DVD/VCR to select the VCR mode. (The VCR indicator will light.)
1 Load a prerecorded tape
(When loading a cassette tape without the erase prevention tab, playback will start automatically).
2 To start playback
Press PLAY. Playback will start. If the cassette has not loaded yet, will blink for approx. 4 seconds.
To stop playback
Press STOP once. The tape will stop but remain fully loaded and ready to play.
To rewind the tape or forward it rapidly
Press STOP. To rewind the tape: Press REW. To forward the tape: Press F.FWD.
To stop the tape winding, press STOP. To switch to playback directly (without STOP), press PLAY. NOTES: � This VCR selects the playback tape speed SP or LP automatically. � A cassette tape and DVD disc can be played back simultaneously. If you press DVD/VCR, the tape playback and DVD playback alternate with each other on the screen.
Forward/Reverse picture search mode
When the tape is being wound, you can switch to picture search mode (see next page). To do this, press REW or F.FWD and hold it down. The unit will resume the tape winding as soon as the button is released.
NTSC video cassette playback
When using a pre-recorded NTSC video cassette tape, the connected TV set must be compatible with a 60Hz vertical frequency (sometimes known as a PAL 60Hz feature). Otherwise the on-screen picture will be affected by vertical rolling. Even if your VCR set is capable of processing NTSC video signals, the picture may be shortened vertically (appearance of black bars at the top and at the bottom of the TV screen). The dubbing of a NTSC video cassette tape to a standard PAL VCR is not possible.
