48 Closed Caption
When you watch a program that is being broadcast with closed
captions, you can access on-screen boxes containing the pro-
gram’s 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,

ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate
a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your area’s TV program
listings for the shows offered with closed captions.

50 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.
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-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.

If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before
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 representa-
tive. If you believe the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product.
Our representatives will be happy to assist 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
outlet. 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
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 (Moisture Condensation)
• Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heat-
ing 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.
• 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 12-17).
• 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 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.
• 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).
• Plug the power cord into an active AC outlet (page seven).
• Check your hookups (pages six - seven).
• Set up the channels (page 10).

Helpful Hints (cont’d) 53
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 20). 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 power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.
TV/VCR power shuts off after 15 m inutes.
• To save energy, the TV/VCR will shut itself off after 15 minutes when it is on a channel that is not
receiving a broadcast signal (for example, a station that has gone off the air for the night). This is normal.

• 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 50.
• If moisture has accumulated in your TV/VCR, keep the power on for at least two hours, but do not try
to play a tape. Details are on page 52.
TV/VCR does not display closed captions.
• Make sure Counter Only is set to OFF. Details are on page 26.
• Make sure closed captioning is available for the program. Refer to the TV listings in your local newspa-

• Insert the tape window side up, with the record tab facing you.
• Make sure a tape isn’t already in the TV/VCR by pressing the STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR.
• Gently push on the center of the tape. Never force a tape into the TV/VCR.
• 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.
A tape can’t be rem oved from the TV/VCR.
• Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.
• If a timer recording is programmed, turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.
The cylinder rotates when tape playback is stopped.
• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The
