Recording TV programmes

(continued)

Tips (continued)

•Information about the tape appears on the TV screen, but the information won’t be recorded on the tape.

•If you don’t want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV.

•You can enjoy watching or listening to another input source even while recording.

Notes

•The display does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-motion playback.

•The display will not appear while playing an NTSC- recorded tape.

•If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the counting cycles of the two video systems.

To save a recording

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the safety tab as illustrated. To record on that tape again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
