FOUR-HEAD, DOUBLE AZIMUTH DESIGN
Combines direct drive cylinder and capstan motors
with a precision digital servo control to produce
excellent special effects reproduction–Still, Slow, and
with the appropriate remote control, Frame Advance
and Variable Slow Motion–in both SP and SLP speeds.
DIGITAL AUTO TRACKING SYSTEM When tape
playback begins, this feature automatically seeks the
optimum tracking position in the tracking range, and
the optimum audio signal tracking position for clearest
picture and sound from videotapes. Controls are
provided on the remote transmitter to give you manual
control should tracking adjustments be necessary.
AUTO HEAD CLEANER Gently, automatically
cleans the video head each time a tape is inserted or
removed to maintain optimum picture performance
during both recording and playback.
AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SETUP Activating this
feature allows the VCR tuner to scan through
television frequencies, automatically storing active
broadcast channels into memory.Then, only active
channels programmed into memory are tuned, using
the channel up/down buttons on either the remote or
front panel of the VCR. Automatic channel preset can
be repeated whenever desired, should new channels
become available. Channels can be manually added or
deleted.
181-CHANNEL FS TUNING The digital quartz tuner
is capable of receiving up to 181 channels, including
UHF, VHF, and 113 cable channels, without the
inconvenience and expense of a cable company
decoder/converter (on non-scrambled cable systems).
Channel tuning is by random access with the remote
control transmitter or scan tuning up and down by
remote or at the set.
CLOCK/FUNCTION DISPLAY Continuously alerts
the user to all important recording and playback
conditions, correct time, counter position, tape
speed, channel number, etc. When the VCR is
turned off, the time display automatically dims, to
make it less distracting.

BILINGUAL (ENGLISH/SPANISH) ON-SCREEN
FUNCTION DISPLAY Indicates record/playback
functions, channel number, clock setting, date,
counter, programming, one-touch record, and record
standby, keeping the user alerted to the status of all
features in a heads up, on-screen display.
ON-SCREEN, REAL-TIME COUNTER WITH TIME
SEARCH Unlike the 0000 to 9999 tape counters
found in standard VCRs, this unit incorporates a
linear, real-time counter which shows elapsed
recording and/or playback time in hours, minutes, and
seconds. Now you can advance or return to selected
tape segments in any time increment you desire.
TIMER/PROGRAMMER BACKUP SYSTEM Retains
timer programming information for up to one full
minute in the event of momentary power interruptions.
REPEAT PLAY When the VCR recognizes no
recorded signal or reaches the end of a tape with the
Repeat Play control activated, it will automatically rewind
to the beginning and enter the Play mode again. Repeat
Play can be discontinued by touching the button a second
time or by changing operation mode.
QUICK START MECHANISM Quickly and
effortlessly switches the tape mechanism from Stop to
Play in only one second, instead of the approximately
5 1/4 seconds of older models.
AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT JACKS Connect
your VCR to the direct audio and video inputs of a
television receiver or monitor equipped with input
jacks, for better picture and sound quality during tape
playback. Jacks also allow a second VCR to be
connected for editing and/or duplicating personally
recorded, non-copyrighted videotapes.
HI-FI STEREO SOUND WITH BUILT-IN
MTS/SAP DECODER Record stereo
videotapes from stereo sound sources and play
back pre-recorded hi-fi stereo tapes in hi-fi
stereo sound–with an excellent 90dB+ dynamic
range–through a stereo-equipped TV or regular
TV and stereo hi-fi home audio system. The
built-in MTS/SAP decoder allows reception and
recording of off-air television stereo broadcasts
and second audio program transmissions, where
available. Backup memory logic retains the cable
channel guide map indefinitely even during a
power failure or when the VCR is disconnected
from its power source.
VCR PLUS+™ PROGRAMMING Simplifies
VCR programming by allowing you to simply
enter PlusCode®programming numbers found
in many published television listings. When
recording begins, your VCR automatically
selects the proper TV channel and program
length. Backup memory logic retains the cable
channel guide map indefinitely even during a
power failure or when the VCR is disconnected
from its power source.
ONE-TOUCH RECORD Record up to eight
hours or to the end of the tape with the touch
of a single button. Each touch of the OTR
button adds 30 minutes of additional recording
time.
8-EVENT/1 YEAR SMART PROGRAMMING
Program your VCR for unattended recording of
up to eight separate programs over a full 365-
day period. No manual setting, adjusting, or
programming of the calendar function is
required.
REMOTE CONTROL ON-SCREEN MENU
PROGRAMMING Program by remote control
for unattended recording, with programming
instructions on-screen for visual verification.
On-screen menus lead you through normal,
daily, or weekly programming by program
number, channel to be recorded, start and stop
times, speed, and date of recording by day,
month, and year. Pushing the CLEAR button
allows you to go back and reprogram over
mistakes, and pushing the MENU button at the
end of programming verifies that instructions
are locked into memory.
