RCA VR270 - Manuel (Page 20)

operating Controls (Detailed Descriptions)
Basic operation of the controls is given on page 11. Now
that you are familiar with the basic procedure for
recording a TV program and playing it back, you are
ready to learn the rest of the control functions.
The controls of your VCR are designed so that:
• Accidentally pressing a wrong button will not damage
the VCR or the cassette.
• Non-essentia! buttons are disabled during recording
to help you avoid accidental interruptions.
Operation of the VCR is automatic whenever
possible.
Automatic recording functions (Timer and XPR) w'ill
not disturb normal TV viewing.
If you run out of tape during playback or normal
recording, the VCR rewinds the tape and stops
automatically. If tape runs out during Timer or
Express Recording, the VCR stops without rewinding.
Because of these features, the functions of some
control buttons depend on the operational mode of
the VCR at the time they are used.
