SLOW-MOTION

For programs recorded at the SP or EP speed, press SLOW \/ or /\ on the
remote control to reduce the playback speed to 1/10 of its normal speed.
The VCR mutes the sound during slow-motion.

Press SLOW \/ or /\ to vary the slow-motion speed from 1/5 to 1/30 of the
normal playback speed.

Press PLAY to return to normal playback.

Notes:  If you leave the VCR in the slow-motion mode for 5 minutes, the
        VCR automatically stops.

        If the slow-motion picture is poor, adjust the tracking control.
        See "Tracking Control" in Faxback Doc. # 49806.

        To reduce or eliminate jitter in slow-motion pictures, first press
        PAUSE/STILL and press and hold down CH/TRACK \/ or /\ on the
        remote control or TRACKING/V-LOCK \/ or /\ on the VCR.  Then press
        SLOW \/ or /\ to resume slow-motion.

FREEZE-FRAME

Freeze-Frame lets you stop the tape and view a single frame.

Press PAUSE/STILL during playback to freeze the picture.  Press PLAY to
return to normal playback.

During freeze-frame, the picture is lower quality then during normal play
back.  However, the picture is best with recordings made at the SP or EP
speed.

Notes:  If you leave the VCR in the freeze-frame mode for 5 minutes, the
        VCR automatically stops.

        If a horizontal bar appears during freeze-frame, adjust the
        tracking in the slow-motion mode.  See "Slow-Motion" in Faxback
        Doc. # 49806.

        If the picture jitters during freeze-frame of an SP or EP
        recording, press and hold down CH/TRACK \/ or /\ on the remote
        control or TRACKING/V-LOCK \/ or /\ on the VCR to reduce or
        eliminate jitters in the freeze-frame picture.

FRAME ADVANCE

During the freeze-frame mode, you can advance the picture one frame at a
time by pressing PAUSE/STILL.  This feature works best with video
cassettes recorded at the SP or EP speed.

RECORD PAUSE

Use PAUSE/STILL during recording to edit unwanted material, such as
commercials.

Press PAUSE/STILL at the beginning of the unwanted material.  The tape
temporarily stops.  Press PAUSE/STILL again or RECORD to resume recording.

Note:  If you have the VCR in the pause mode for 5 minutes during
       recording, the VCR automatically stops.

TRACKING CONTROL

If the VCR's picture is poor, press and hold down CH/TRACK (TRACKING/
V-LOCK on the VCR) \/ or /\ as needed, to adjust the picture during tape
playback.  The tracking position indicators appear on the display.

About 3 seconds after you release the button, the tracking position
indicators disappear and the clock display reappears.

Note:  You might need to readjust the control for each cassette you load.

REAL-TIME COUNTER WITH MEMORY

Your VCR's counter shows the actual tape run time, not a reference tape
count.

Use the counter and memory functions to mark and return to specific
locations on a tape.  when you load a cassette, the counter resets to 0^H
00^M 00^s on the display.  As the tape plays, the counter displays the run
time.  If you rewind the tape past the zero point, the display shows the
time with a minus (-) sign.

1.  Press RESET on the remote control at the location you want to return
    to.  The counter displays 0^H 00^M 00^S.

2.  When you want to return to the selected location, press MEMORY so that
    M appears on the display.  Then, continue recording or playback.

Press STOP, and then press << REWIND or FAST-F >>.  The tape rewinds or
fast-forwards and automatically stops at 0^H 00^M 00^S on the display.

Note:  The counter uses special signals on a recorded tape.  Therefore,
       the counter does not work with blank tape or blank portions of
       partially recorded tapes.

FAST-FORWARD/REWIND AND VISUAL SEARCH

When the VCR is in the stop mode, press FAST-F >> or << REWIND to quickly
fast-forward or rewind the tape.  Use the counter to locate a specific
section of tape.  When the counter shows the approximate section of tape,
press FAST-F >> or << REWIND again for visual search.  The VCR plays the
tape at a fast playback speed so that you can find the exact location on
tape that you want to view.

Repeat pressing FAST-F >> or << REWIND to alternate between fast-forward/
rewind and visual search.  You can also press FAST-F >> or >> REWIND
during playback for visual search.

Press PLAY for normal playback.

Notes:  VCR must appear on the VCR's display for visual search.

        During visual search, the VCR mutes the sound and the picture
        quality is lower than during normal playback.  The search picture
        is best with tapes recorded at the SP or EP speed.

BLUE-SCREEN DISPLAY

If no video signal is present, the blue-screen display appears on the TV's
screen.  You cannot record the blue screen.

FAST-RESPONSE

When you load a video cassette with its erase-protection tab intact, the
VCR positions the tape next to the record/playback head for about 5
minutes.  Within this period, you can start playback, recording, or any
other tape motion the moment you press the appropriate button.  This is
useful any time you need a precise start for playback or recording.

When you stop a tape during playback, recording, rewind, or fast-forward,
the tape remains positioned next to the record/playback head for about 5
minutes.  After 5 minutes, the fast-response system releases to protect
the tape.

AUTOMATIC PLAYBACK, REWIND, AND EJECT

When you load a cassette with the erase-protection tab removed, playback
begins automatically.

When the tape reaches the end during manual recording, playback, or fast
forward, the VCR automatically rewinds to the beginning of the tape.  If
the erase-protection tab has been removed, the cassette ejects.

If the memory function is activated, the tape stops at 0^H 00^M 00^S but
does not eject.
