48 Closed Caption  
When you watch a program that is being broadcast with closed  
captions, you can access on-screen boxes containing the pro-  
grams dialogue (for example, what a character is saying), dialogue  
in a foreign language, or information (such as a channel guide,  
schedule, or announcements). Follow the steps below to select  
closed captions.  
Not all TV programs and commercials are broadcast with closed  
captions. Similarly, all types of closed captions (second language,  
half-screen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed caption-  
ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate  
a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your areas TV program  
listings for the shows offered with closed captions.

52 Automatic Operation Features  
The following playback features will always operate.  
Autom atic Playback  
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on  
automatically. If the tapes record tab is missing, playback will  
begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on  
automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If  
a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the  
TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.  
Autom atic Rewind, Eject, O ff  
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the  
TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the  
tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only  
rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set  
to zero. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.  
Mem ory Rewind, Power O ff  
When the POWER button is pressed while the TV/VCR is rewind-  
ing a tape, REW POWER OFF will appear on the screen. The  
TV/VCR will turn itself off when the tape has finished rewinding.  
If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only  
rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to  
zero, then turn itself off.  
Tape Eject  
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the  
TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed,  
a tape can not be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the  
TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and  
turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.  
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent  
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the  
best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however,  
you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls  
(see below).  
Manual Tracking  
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p but-  
tons on the TV/VCR.  
Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape  
is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.

Location  
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:  
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.  
• Avoid dusty or humid places.  
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of  
the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.  
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.  
• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.  
• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.  
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall out-  
let. Grasp it by the plug.  
If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an autho-  
rized service center.  
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.  
• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.  
Dew W arning (Moisture Condensation)  
Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a  
cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in your  
TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and the  
TV/VCR could be damaged. If you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep the  
TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.  
TV/VCR will not perform a tim er recording.

grammed timer recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automati-  
cally if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14-17. If you are not using the  
AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12-13.) The timer recording will not  
occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the power failure.
