“What You See Is What You Record”
You can record to VCR the images that you are currently viewing on TV by a simple operation. For details, read the manual for your VCR. Operate via the VCR. “VCR IS RECORDING” is displayed.
In the following conditions, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is switched, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:
•When recording images from an external device connected to the TV.
•When recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled on a decoder.
•When recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output because that TV channel cannot be properly received on the VCR’s tuner.
•When the VCR is not ready (for example, when there is no tape inserted), “NO RECORDING” is displayed.
•Operation via the TV is not possible.
•Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that cannot be received properly by the VCR’s tuner, even though you can view that TV channel on the TV.
However, some VCRs can record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that channel can be viewed on the TV, even though the TV channel cannot be received properly by the VCR’s tuner. For details, refer to your VCR instruction manual.
