8.1.2 Record Check Function
When the VCR is recording, press the PLAY button for more than 1.5 seconds and
then release. The tape rewinds a little and then plays back the recording just made.
When the tape reaches the spot where you pressed the PLAY button, the VCR
returns to record mode.
8.1.3 Audio Recording
Either apply the specified line input signal to the AUDIO IN connector or connect
the microphone to the MIC IN jack. If both are connected, the microphone is given
priority.
Normal sound is played back only when a tape recorded in 2H, 6H, or L18H mode
is played back in its respective mode.
The longer the recording time mode, the worse the sound quality becomes. In L18H
mode, the sound quality is such that speech can be heard.
8.1.4 Repeat Recording
When TAPE END on the First Time Set Up menu is set to REPEAT or ALARM•PROT
and the repeat recording mode is set (the REPEAT indicator is lit), the tape will
automatically rewind to the start when the end of the tape is reached. Recording
will begin again.
Table D shows what automatically happens when the tape ends during recording.
