Still Mode

Audio Language

The Still Mode feature lets you set the default method of freezing a

single image on the screen during DVD playback.

Follow these steps to choose your preferred language for DVD

audio soundtracks. The DVD-VCR will automatically default to the

language you choose if it is available on a given DVD.

How it Works

Because each frame of a standard NTSC video image is made up of

two fields (odd and even scan lines), there are two ways to freeze

an image during DVD playback:

• Frame - Freezes both the odd and even scan lines that make up a

single frame. Excellent for graphic detail, but may cause jitter in

high motion scenes.

Open “SETUP MENU”

Press the SETUP button.

Select “DVD Setup”

• Field - Doubles either the odd or the even scan lines. Prevents

jitter, but at the sacrifice of fine detail.

soundtracks, then push Enter to select.

Set “Still Mode”

Move the selection arrow to “Still Mode,” then push right to select

from the following options:

•

Auto - Selects Still Mode automatically by detecting motion in

the scene.

Frame – Select if you want to see fine text more clearly than in

Auto mode.

Field – Select if the screen shakes in Auto mode.

Black Level

The Black Level feature adjusts the reference level of black in the

video signal to one of two choices:

• High - Standard NTSC black level. Yields consistent contrast

through all sources.

• Low - Enhanced black level, for increased contrast during DVD

playback.

Open “SETUP MENU”

How to Set a Timer Recording

Timer Recording Errors/Solutions

Complete Program Record, or CPR, helps to ensure you won’t run

out of tape before your Timer Recording is complete. When Auto is

selected, the Timer event begins to record in SP; the DVD-VCR

then calculates how much time is remaining on the tape and adjusts

the record speed to SLP if necessary to fit the entire event. If there

is not enough tape to record the entire event, the DVD-VCR will

record in SLP until the end of the tape is reached.

If there is a problem with your Timer Recording, the Timer icon

will flash on the Front Panel Display and an error message will

appear on the On-Screen Display. Once you correct the error, the

event will begin if there is still time remaining for that event. You

can also clear the event in the Event Summary screen.

Tape Missing

There is no videotape in the VCR deck.

• Insert a videotape in the VCR deck.

Set Event Type

Use the number buttons (1–4) to set the type of event, i.e. how

often the event will be recorded. The default setting is “1–Time”.

Tape Missing Tab

1 1–Time – The event will be recorded only once.

2 Monday-Friday – The event will be recorded every

weekday.

3 Weekly – The event will be recorded once a week.

4 Always – The event will be recorded every single day.

The videocassette is missing the Record Safety Tab.

• Insert a video cassette with the Record Safety Tab intact, or

place a small piece of adhesive tape over the opening to permit

recording

1 CH # – Records from the Tuner. Use the number buttons (0–9)

to set the channel number.

2 Line 1 – Records from the front line inputs

3 Line 2 – Records from the rear line inputs.

Overlapping Events

Two or more events are programmed to occur at the same time:

• When you program a new event, the DVD-VCR checks all timer

events for conflicts. If two events overlap, you will be prompted to

either delete one of the events, or allow them to overlap.

• If events overlap, the first event will be completely recorded, then

the next event will start and the remainder of that event will be

recorded.

Set Recording Speed

Use the number buttons (1–3) to set the Recording Speed. The

default setting is Auto.

1 Auto – Complete Program Record (see sidebar).
