46 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  
power cord must be connected). If a timer recording is pro-  
grammed, 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 or the TRACKING m/n buttons on the  
remote control during tape playback.

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.  
• Do not use this TV/VCR under high temperature conditions.  
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the cord from the AC (alternating current) wall out-  
let. Grasp it by the plug.  
• If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, disconnect the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an  
authorized 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/Display (Moisture Condensation)  
• The TV/VCR has a sensor that detects moisture condensation. Moisture may condense inside the  
TV/VCR when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or under con-  
ditions of high humidity. If excessive moisture is present inside the TV/VCR, "DEW PROTECTION  
PLEASE WAIT" appears on the screen. While "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE WAIT" appears, a safety  
device prevents the VCR from operating until moisture is gone. When "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE  
WAIT" appears on the screen, keep the TV/VCR power on, but do not try to play a tape. Allow at  
least two hours for the TV/VCR to dry. "DEW PROTECTION PLEASE WAIT" may appear for up to  
one hour after moisture is gone. During this time, you can not insert a cassette.  
TV/VCR will not perform a tim er recording.  
Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 32-35). Midnight is 12 a.m.  
Noon is 12 p.m.  
Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.  
Make sure the clock is set (pages 13-18).  
Make sure there is a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.  
• If the power fails, programmed timer recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock  
will reset itself automatically if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 15-18. If  
you are not using the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 13-14.)  
The timer recording will not occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the  
power failure.  
Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF (page 36).  
TV/VCR will not record.  
Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).  
Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF (page 36).  
Make sure the TV/VCR has power. Details are on pages seven-eight.  
• Check your hookups (pages six-eight).  
Set up the channels (page 11).  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Helpful Hints (contd) 49  
The rem ote control is not available, or the rem ote control will not access the pop up m enu.  
• Use the buttons on the front panel of the TV/VCR to access the pop up menu (page 21). You can not  
enter numbers (for example, to program a timer recording) using the front panel buttons.  
TV/VCR has no power.  
Make sure the AC cord is connected completely to an AC (alternating current) outlet and to the AC  
120V jack. Disconnect the car battery cord completely. For mobile connections, see page eight.  
Channel reception is poor.  
• Check connections, then set up the channels again (page 11).  
TV/VCR does not have a picture.  
• Adjust the antenna (pages six-eight).  
• Adjust the TV/VCR picture controls (pages 26-27).  
TV/VCR has poor sound or no sound.  
• Adjust the volume.  
• Press the MUTE button to restore the volume.  
Tape playback is poor or tape is destroyed.  
• Adjust the tracking. Details are on page 46.
