Notes:

•The VCR automatically stops recording and rewinds when it reaches the end of the tape.

•Press the STOP button at any time to stop recording.

•We don’t recommend changing tape speeds while a recording is in progress. Doing so may cause distortion of the picture during playback.

•When you’re finished recording, rewind the tape to the beginning and remove it from the VCR to protect the tape.

•When pressing the REC button on the front panel during DVD playback, the DVD will be

recorded on the VCR tape. If your DVD title has been equipped with a Copy Protect technology, it can't be recorded on the VCR tape.

•You can play a DVD by switching into the DVD mode during channel recording.

•You can't play a DVD by switching into DVD mode during A/V recording.

•Mode Switching doesn't operate during recording in DVD mode.
