other switches manually. The unit automatically turns on and
changes the source to VCR.

the appropriate position so that you can view the playback
picture.

the appropriate position so that you can view the playback
picture.

TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so
that you can watch TV.

on the unit, the TV automatically changes the input mode to
the appropriate position so that you can view the playback
picture.

this unit, you cannot use a component video cable (as CASE 3 on

to the appropriate position the unit is connected to.
