In the Off Mode, inserting a prerecorded tape with the tab punched out will prompt your Toshiba VCR to turn itself on, load the tape, and play it. At the end of tape playback, the VCR will rewind the tape, eject it, and turn itself off. If any function is engaged during play, this feature is terminated.
Viewers can even choose the beginning and end frames of a desired sequence.
It's an excellent feature for business or home viewing of instructional videos. This system cradles the videotape in the center of the VCR, providing three benefits over conventional side-loading processes. First, the videotape is insulated from motor vibration, reducing tape flutter. Second, center loading keeps chassis circuitries away from any electromagnetic interference generated by internal motors. Finally, a majority of chassis components are placed within this central area, shortening the length of the signal path and reducing noise and distortion.
