numbers found in many

published television listings. When recording
begins, your VCR automatically selects the proper
TV channel and program length.

4-Head, Double Azimuth Design

Combines with direct drive cylinder and capstan
motors, with precise digital servo control, to
produce excellent special effects reproduction –
Still, Slow, and with the appropriate remote
control, Frame Advance, Variable Slow Motion and
X2 Play – in both SP and SLP speeds.

SmartClock 

Once activated, this

menu-driven feature will automatically

maintain the correct time, regularly checking and
updating the time if necessary. This function will
also reset the clock after a power outage.

8-Event/1 Year Smart Programming

Permits pre-programming 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.

Automatic Channel Setup 

Activating

this feature allows the VCR tuner to scan through
television frequencies, automatically storing every
active broadcasting channel into memory.
Subsequent scanning of TV channels through the
VCR tuner will show only those active channels
programmed into memory. Automatic channel
preset can be repeated whenever desired, should
new channels become available. Channels can be
manually added or deleted.

Front Panel Audio/Video Inputs

Provide added convenience to the user when
recording tapes directly from a camcorder to the
VCR. In addition, accessory video equipment such
as a video game or CD-i player can be
connected for direct playthrough to the TV set.

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.

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 for clearest picture and
sound from videotapes. Controls are provided on
the remote transmitter to give the user manual
control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

Variable Slow Motion

Permits slow

motion viewing of tapes recorded at SP or SLP
speeds, in both forward and reverse. Slow motion
speed can be varied from 1/5th to 1/60th
normal speed in either direction.

181-Channel FS Tuning

The Digital

Quartz tuner in the Magnavox VCR 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, with instantaneous
tuning of any available channel, or scan tuning
up and down by remote or at the set.

Timer/Programmer Backup System

Retains timer programming information for up to
three full minutes in the event of momentary
power interruptions.

Remote Control On-Screen Menu
Programming 

Allows VCR programming by

remote control for unattended recording, with
programming instructions on-screen for visual
verification. On-screen menus lead the user
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 user to go back and reprogram over
mistakes, and pushing the “menu” button at the
end of programming verifies that instructions are
locked into memory.

VCR/Universal TV/Cable Remote

Multifunction infrared remote controls all
operating features and functions of this VCR, plus
selected functions of most Magnavox and some
competitive brand television sets, as well as some
cable converter/decoders.

Quick Start Mechanism 

Switches the

tape mechanism from Stop to Play in only one
second, instead of the approximately 5 1/4
seconds of older models.

Channel Search 

When set in the “tuner”

mode with the Channel Search button on the
remote transmitter pressed, the tuner will
automatically begin scanning through all channels
programmed into memory, showing the
programming on each channel briefly. When the
desired channel is reached, a second touch of
the button stops the Search operation. If the
scan is not stopped, the tuner will go through
all available channels, then return to the channel
originally tuned and stop.

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

recording/playback functions, channel number,
clock setting, date, counter, programming,
one-touch record and record standby, keeping
the user alerted to virtually any information 
he or she may wish to know during recording
or playback.

21x Forward/Reverse Latching
Search 

Permits forward and reverse searches

at 21 times normal playing speed in SLP, 7
times normal in SP. The Latching Search feature
provides for continuous forward or reverse Search
with a single touch of the control. A second
touch stops the Search operation and returns 
the unit to the Play mode.
