Instant Timer Recording

Instant Timer Recording allows you to make a recording easily of a preset length without using the programma- ble timer.

Preparation:

Turn on the power of both the DVD/VCR Receiver and the TV. Be sure the TV is tuned to the DVD/VCR Receiver output channel (3 or 4).

If a direct VIDEO/AUDIO connection is made between the DVD/VCR Receiver and the TV, set the TV’s source selector to

VIDEO.

1 Insert a video cassette with the safety tab intact.

2 Select the desired channel with CH/TRK v/V or number (0-9) buttons.

The channel number appears on the TV screen.

If you are recording from another source via audio/video input jacks (at the Rear or Front panel), select LINE1(L1) or LINE2(L2).

3 Select the desired recording speed (SP or SLP) with the SP/SLP button.

The tape speed will appear on the TV screen.

4 Press REC/ITR (z) twice.

The menu as illustrated, will appear on the TV screen. Recording will start. (The TIMER indicator will light)

5 Press REC/ITR (z) repeatedly to select the recording time length.

At the end of the recording, the DVD/VCR Receiver will stop recording and shut off.

During Instant Timer Recording, changing the channel on the DVD/VCR Receiver will not be possible.

You can stop the recording by pressing STOP twice, within 5 seconds.

If the DVD/VCR Receiver is set to “0H00M”, the DVD/VCR Receiver goes to normal recording mode.

Dubbing and Editing

If you wish to edit or dub your camcorder (or another VCR) recordings to this DVD/VCR Receiver, the rear (or Front) panel mounted Audio and Video (A/V) input jacks make the connections quick and easy. These direct A/V jacks will also provide better picture results than using the ANT.IN jack on the rear panel.

1

Connect the camcorder’s (or another VCR’s) A/V

outputs to your DVD/VCR Receiver as illustrated on

page 14.

2 Select the input channel “LINE2”. (Use INPUT to select LINE2.)

If you have connected your DVD/VCR Receiver to the A/V input jacks on the rear of DVD/VCR Receiver, you should select the input channel LINE1(L1) by pressing INPUT twice.

3 Play the tape in the camcorder (or another VCR). If you have a TV attached to your DVD/VCR Receiver, you can see the video play- ing.

Before recording, please confirm the recording start position.
