Search

in Forward or Reverse mode at 15 times normal playing
speed in SLP, and 5 times normal in SP. The Latching Search
feature provides 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.

SKIP SEARCH   

This feature allows short-distance “hops”

in the Playback mode making it easier to find those elusive
previously recorded scenes. With just one touch of the
FRAME ADVANCE button on the remote you can fast
forward the tape for 30 seconds and then return to the
Play mode automatically.

AUTO HEAD CLEANER   

Gently and

automatically cleans the video heads each time a tape
is inserted or removed to maintain optimum picture
performance during both recording and playback.

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 failure.The menu-driven time
zone feature allows selection of appropriate time
for those who live in a time zone other than that
of their CATV service provider.

CLOSED CAPTION   

Activated through a special 

on-screen menu, the closed caption feature allows
the hearing impaired to read dialogue and narratives 
(on Closed Caption telecasts) without the use of an
optional, external decoding device. Program dialogue
and narrative material is printed at the bottom of the
screen. Excellent for development of language skills
and private viewing without disturbing others as well.

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.

FRONT PANEL AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS  

Enjoy the

added convenience of recording tapes directly from a
camcorder to the VCR portion with a full color
monitor built in. And as a bonus, accessory video
equipment such as a video game, DVD player, or web
browser can be connected for direct playthrough to
the TV section.

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.

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  

Unlike the

0000 to 9999 tape counters found in standard
Combis, this unit incorporates a linear, real-time
counter which shows elapsed recording and/or
playback time in hours, minutes, and seconds.

TIMER/PROGRAMMER BACKUP MEMORY

Retains timer/programming information indefinitely in
the event of power failure.

TAPE POSITION INDICATOR  

No more guessing!

This menu-driven, on-screen display provides a visual
indication of tape remaining in the cassette in any mode.

SLEEP TIMER   

This set will automatically shut off at

a preset time of up to 120 minutes from the time the
feature is activated. Sleep timer settings are
programmed in 15-minute increments.

A-B REPEAT PLAY   

Now you can play a single

segment of any videotape over and over again with 
A-B Repeat. Using the on-screen menu, simply
program the start and stop positions of whatever
segment you want to repeat, regardless of length (as
long as it is no less than three minutes). Great for self-
help videos, training tapes, and instructional material.

REPEAT PLAY   

When the Combi 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.

Hi-Fi Stereo Combination TV/VCR

HI-FI STEREO SOUND WITH BUILT-IN
MTS/SAP DECODER (TV ONLY)   

The

stereo sound system built into this com-
bination TV/VCR incorporates an MTS/SAP
decoder which permits reception and
reproduction of broadcast stereo television
programs, as well as Second Audio Program
transmissions (where available).

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.

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.

FOUR-HEAD, DOUBLE AZIMUTH DESIGN

Combines direct drive cylinder and capstan
motors with a precision digital servo control to
produce excellent special effects–Still, Slow, and
Frame Advance–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.
