AUTOMATIC TIMER

RECORDING

The VCR’s automatic timer lets you program it to select an input source, start recording from that source at a time you set, then stop record- ing at a time you set. You can set up to eight program timers to record any combination of weekly, daily, or one-time events.

You can set the VCR to record at any time on a specific day within a 1-month period, at the same time Monday through Friday (DAILY), or at the same time on the same day every week (WEEKLY).

Notes:

•The VCR can record only one broadcast at a time. If you program the VCR’s timer to record broadcasts on different channels that start at the same time, the VCR only records the program that has the lowest program number.

•If two timer programs overlap, the one that starts first has priority. The VCR begins recording the second program after the first program ends.

•The VCR must be off at the programmed time for it to make an automatic timer recording.

•If there is a power failure of more than 3 minutes during a timer recording, the recording does not resume after power is restored.

•If there is a power failure of more than 3 minutes before a programmed start time, the VCR loses the clock setting and there- fore does not start automatic timer record- ing. However, if you have an EDS channel in your area and set the VCR to automati- cally set the clock from the EDS signal, the clock is reset within 10 minutes after power is restored, and the VCR records at the programmed time(s).

Setting the Program Timer

Note: To program the timers, you can use the VCR’s front panel buttons instead of the re- mote control. Use PLAY as SEL s, REW as SEL t, and FF as SET.

1.Turn on the VCR and the TV.

Note: If you use a TV/monitor that is con- nected to the VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks, set it to the video mode and skip Steps 2 and 3.

2.Set the TV to the same channel as the VCR’s 3 CH. 4 switch.

3.Press TV/VCR until the VCR displays VCR.

4.(Model 60 only) Set the audio recording mode to the desired setting. See “Receiv- ing/Recording Stereo/SAP Broadcasts (Model 60 Only)” on Page 27.

5.Insert a blank cassette, or one that you want to record over, into the VCR.

6.Press PROG on the remote control. The TV displays the timer setting menu.

Note: If the clock is not set, the screen shows PLEASE SET CLOCK BEFORE PROGRAMMING and then goes to the clock-setting screen. Set the clock as described under “Manually Setting the Clock” on Page 16.

7.If you have already entered a program(s), the current settings for the first four pro- grams appear on the display. Press SEL s/t to select an empty program number, then press SET. The TV displays the program menu.
