FAST-FORWARD/REWIND

Use fast-forward and rewind to rapidly advance or reverse the tape.

Stop the VCP to use fast-forward or rewind.  Press FAST-F to fast-forward
or REWIND to rewind the tape.  There is no picture or sound when you fast-
forward or rewind the tape.

Press STOP to stop fast-forward or rewind, or press PLAY (X2) to begin
normal play.

Viewing the Picture During Fast-Forward/Rewind

You can rapidly advance or reverse the tape using fast-forward or rewind,
and then slow the picture temporarily to view it.  This is useful for
momentarily checking the video content of a tape at any point.

While the VCP is stopped, press FAST-F or REWIND to fast-forward or rewind
the tape.  Then press and hold FAST-F or REWIND.  The picture appears at
the normal visual search speed.

Release FAST-F or REWIND to return to the rapid fast-forward or rewind
speed.

Press STOP to stop fast-forward or rewind, or press PLAY (X2) to return to
normal play.

VISUAL SEARCH

Visual search lets you view a tape forward or backward at a faster speed
than normal.

To use visual search, press PLAY (X2) to begin normal play.  Then press
FAST-F to search forward or REWIND to search backward.

NOTES:  During visual search, the sound is muted and the picture is a
        lower quality than during normal playback.

        Tapes recorded at the EP speed have the best picture during visual
        search.

To search at a faster visual search speed, press FAST-F or REWIND during
normal visual search.  To return to the normal visual search speed, press
FAST-F or REWIND again.

Press STOP to stop the visual search or PLAY (X2) to return normal play.

DOUBLE-SPEED PLAYBACK

You can play tapes recorded at the EP speed at twice the normal speed.  To
do so, during playback press PLAY (X2).

The picture is lower in quality than during normal playback and you do not
hear sound.

FREEZE-FRAME

Freeze-frame lets you stop the tape and view a single frame.  To do so
press STILL >|< during playback.  Press  STILL >|< again or press PLAY
(X2) to return to normal playback.

During freeze-frame, the picture is a lower quality than during normal
playback.  The picture is best with recordings made at the EP speed.

NOTE:  If you leave the VCP in the freeze-frame mode for about 5 minutes,
       the VCP automatically stops.

AUTO REPEAT PLAYBACK

If you want the VCP to automatically repeat a tape after it ends, press
AUTO REPEAT until the indicator above AUTO REPEAT lights.  When the tape
ends, the VCP completely rewinds the tape and plays it again.  The VCP
continues to rewind and replay the tape until you press AUTO REPEAT so the
AUTO REPEAT indicator turns off, or until you press STOP.

TRACKING CONTROL

The TRACKING control lets you adjust your VCP for the best picture
quality.  If the picture quality is poor, press and hold down TRACKING (+)
or (-) on the remote control until you get the best picture.

PLAYBACK WITH HI-FI STEREO SOUND

You can enjoy the Hi-Fi stereo soundtracks on many pre-recorded tapes with
your VCP.  "VHS Hi-Fi" or "Hi-Fi" printed on the video cassette's label or
jacket indicates if the cassette was recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Hi-Fi stereo sound rivals the audio fidelity and quality of today's
digital audio.  to fully enjoy the superior sound of Hi-Fi stereo
soundtracks, we recommend you connect the audio outputs of the VCP to your
home stereo system and set L/ST/R/NOR to ST.

Set L/ST/R/NOR as follows for the desired sound:

    L:  The left channel sound is heard from both speakers.

   ST:  The left channel sound is heard from the left speaker and the
        right channel sound is heard from the right speaker (use this
        position when the Hi-Fi indicator is on.)

    R:  The right channel sound is heard from both speakers.

  NOR:  Use this position when the Hi-Fi indicator is not on.  The player
        will read the audio information on the mono soundtrack (not
        stereo), and you do not hear Hi-Fi sound, even if using a Hi-Fi
        tape.

NOTES:  If you select ST while playing a prerecorded bilingual audio
        program, the primary and secondary languages will be head
        simultaneously.  Use L or R to select the desired language.

        If the VCP is connected to the TV through the 75-ohm coaxial cable
        (not through the TV's audio/video inputs), stereo soundtracks are
        head in mono.  For stereo or bilingual playback, connect the VCP's
        AUDIO R/L outputs to your TV or stereo system.

        There might be a difference in volume between Hi-Fi and normal
        audio playback.

        When the tape's tracking is misadjusted, Hi-Fi audio might revert
        to mono sound.  Adjust the tracking control until the Hi-Fi
        indicator turns on and you hear clear Hi-Fi stereo sound.

USING HEADPHONES

To connect headphones (not supplied), insert the headphone's 1/8-inch plug
into the HEADPHONE jack.  Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide
selection of headphones.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

    Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
    After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

    Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
    listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

    Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over time, your ears
    adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
    discomfort might still damage your hearing.

WATCHING BROADCAST TV

To watch broadcast TV using the connections shown under "Connecting a
Standard TV," press POWER to turn off the VCP or press STOP to stop tape
playback.  Then tune to the desired station on the TV.  The antenna or
cable signals pass through the VCP unaffected, as if the antenna or cable
wire were connected directly to the TV.

DEW PROTECTION SYSTEM

Your VCP's dew protection system helps prevent damage caused by moisture
on the VCP's tape head.  This moisture can form when you move the VCP from
a cold area to a warm one.

When the system senses moisture on the tape head, the DEW indicator
flashes and you cannot operate the VCP.  You can begin normal operation
only after the moisture evaporates and the indicator turns off.  connect
the VCP to power and let it warm up for 1 to 2 hours so any moisture
evaporates.

CAUTION:  Do not load a tape while the DEW indicator flashes.  Doing so
          could damage the VCP mechanism.
