• You cannot view closed captions
during recording or tape playback if
COUNTER ONLY is set to ON.
Details are on page 26.
• Abbreviations, symbols, and other
grammatical shortcuts are often
used in order to keep pace with the
on-screen action. This does not indi-
cate a problem with the TV/VCR.
• When you change channels, the
closed captions may be delayed for
a few seconds.
• When you adjust the volume or
mute the volume, closed captions
may be delayed for a few seconds.
Details are on page 49.
• If STATUS is set to ON, closed cap-
tions will be interrupted when you
insert, operate, or remove a tape.

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 tape’s 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 or the TRACKING m/n buttons on the
remote control.
Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape
is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.

requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.
If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of
your product before you call. This information is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a
moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If you

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.

• With ShowGuard, you don’t have to worry about losing your timer recordings. If the power fails, pro-
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.
