Timer Recording
Timer Recording Hints
To use the VCR before timer recording begins, press POWER on the remote once. This turns the programmed recording light off and the VCR on. If you use POWER on the front panel for this purpose, press it twice. Pressing it once turns off the programmed recording light; pressing it again turns the VCR on.
When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power off again. Make sure the programmed recording light is back on.
After a program has been recorded, the VCR memory of that program is cleared (unless you have scheduled the VCR to record the program every day or every week).
If there is already a program in the VCRÕs memory, you will see the Recap screen when you bring up the menus for programming to record (unless you are programming with the QUICK PROGRAM). If the VCRÕs memory is full, Program memory is full will appear on the screen. If so, you must erase a program before you can enter a new one.
If a tape runs out during timer recording, the VCR ejects the tape and the programmed recording light (
) and the cassette light
(
) will flash. Load a new tape and press REC. Recording will resume.
If you forget to load a tape, the programmed recording light (
) and the cassette light (
) will flash when you turn the VCR power off (A tape without an erasure tab will be ejected. To correct this, load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact, and turn off the VCR.).
Do not overlap the recording times you enter into the VCR. If you set two programmed recording times overlap, VCR is already programmed for that time will appear on your screen.
Remember that the VCR will record over the next section of tape. If you want to save a tape, remove it and instead use a different tape for a new recording.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure prevention tab removed. All rental movies have this tab removed, so they are safe from being accidentally erased.
