pressing the TIMER REC button C so that the “ç” indication on the VCR display disappears.
However, after you have finished using the VCR, be sure to reactivate the timer recording standby mode by pressing the TIMER REC button C again, otherwise the programmed timer recording will not be performed.
Note:
³If the VCR is not put in the timer recording standby mode at the latest 10 minutes before the programmed timer recording starting time, the “ç” indication flashes on the VCR display. In this case, press the TIMER REC button C to put the VCR in the timer recording standby mode.
