24 VCR Basics

VCR Basics
This section of the guide will explain the many
functions of the VCR portion of your new TV/VCR
combo. We will begin with a basic explanation of
how to load, watch and eject a video cassette
Load a Videocassette
Make sure the "window" of the video cassette is
facing up and the rear label is facing you. Insert
the cassette into the slot below the television
screen by pressing on the rear of the cassette. Do
not shove or force the cassette into the VCR. If the
tab at the rear of the cassette has been removed,
playback will begin automatically.
To avoid injury, do not place your hand
inside the video cassette slot of the
VCR or your hand might be caught by
the unit's internal mechanism.
Take special care to prevent children
from inserting their hands into the VCR.
Find the Start of the Program
If the tape is not set to the start of the
program you want to view, you can rewind it using
the REW button on the remote or the TV/VCR
combo front panel. Press REW to rewind the tape
to the desired point. To move the tape forward,
press the FF (Fast Forward) button.

Start Playback

To begin viewing a video cassette, press the P
button on the remote or the TV/VCR combo front
panel.
NOTES:
• The TV/VCR combo can record and playback video cassettes in monaural sound only.
• This TV/VCR combo is equipped with SQPB (S-VHS Quasi-Playback) which lets you watch tapes recorded in the S-VHS
format. SQPB does not deliver S-VHS resolution.
• S-VHS recording is not possible with this video recorder.
CAUTION!

Stop Playback

To end the playback of a video cassette, press
the S button on the remote or the S
