Auto Repeat Play  
VPS/PDC Default  
GB  
You can set repeat play to repeat the tape continuously from  
beginning to end.  
(SV-645B/SV-643B)  
Programme VPS/PDC is a system of telling the VCR when a  
programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a  
programme you will tell the VCR to start recording, probably, five  
minutes before the advertised starting time of the programme and  
to finish ten minutes or so after the programme is due to finish. So  
even if the programme starts early or finishes late you will normally  
still get to see what you wanted to record. However when live  
programmes over-run or the days television schedule is changed  
from that advertised, you may miss the desired programme which  
may have been delayed or even cancelled. With VPS/PDC the VCR  
will wait until the signal is sent to confirm the programme is  
starting and the VCR will record the programme even if it is two or  
more, hours late.

Video Head Cleaning  
If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video  
heads may need cleaning. This is not a common problem  
and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned.  
When cleaning the video heads, read all instructions  
provided with the head cleaning cassette. Incorrect head  
cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.  
If when tuning in your TV to the VCR test  
pattern your TV does not find the test pattern  
or the pattern when found suffers from  
interference, it may be due to the VCR output  
channel clashing with the normal TV  
transmissions in your area. To prevent this  
you will need to change the VCR output  
channel in the following way  
1. Remove the aerial input plug from the socket marked (aerial  
symbol) on the rear of the VCR.  
2. Carry out the instructions Tuning Your Television for the VCR”  
(see page 14).  
3. Carry out the instructions Setting the VCR output Channel”  
(see page 16), move the channel number several channels  
down from the original setting. (example: from 60 to 57).  
4. Replace the aerial plug into the socket marked (aerial symbol)  
on the rear of the VCR.
