Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installers attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

52 Automatic Operation Features


The following playback features will always operate.

Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tapes 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.

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off


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. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set to zero. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.

Memory Rewind, Power Off


When the POWER button is pressed while the TV/VCR is rewinding a tape, REW POWER OFF will appear on the 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.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment


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).
