Clock # Counter # Remaining Tape Time # Clock

For certain cassettes, the remaining tape time may not be displayed correctly.

To reset the tape counter

Press [RESET] (17) to reset the tape counter (elapsed time) to [0:00.00].

The tape counter is automatically reset to [0:00.00] when a video cassette is inserted.

The tape counter is reset to [0:00.00] when you operate the Jet Rewind function and the tape is rewound to the beginning.

Notes:

When playing back a cassette recorded in the LP or EP mode, some pictures and sound distortion may occur. However, this is not a malfunction.

The recording pause mode will be automatically cancelled after 5 minutes and return to the stop mode.

The tape recorded in the EP mode on this VCR cannot be played back on the other VCR without EP mode function.

On the other VCR (even with EP mode function), when you play back the tape recorded in the EP mode, the picture and the sound may be distorted. However, this is not a malfunction.

When a video cassette with a broken off erasure prevention

tab is inserted, the indication will flash to indicate that recording is not possible even if [REC] (27) ([REC/OTR] (41)) is pressed.

To Record the Present Date and Time (OSD Recording) on the same screen as the picture

This function allows you to record the present date and time on the same screen as the picture being recorded.

To Select the Recording Duration and Perform Timer Recording (OTR Recording)

OTR means One-Touch Recording and is called this way, because you can start recording and select the recording duration by repeatedly pressing a single button. This is very convenient, for example when you want to start recording immediately but need to go out or want to go to bed.

After the selected recording duration has elapsed, recording stops and the VCR automatically switches off.

To Perform an OTR Recording:

1Display the VCR picture on the TV.

2Insert a video cassette with an intact erasure prevention tab.

3Press [Channel] (32) to select the programme position on which the TV programme to be recorded will be broadcast.

4Press [REC/OTR] (41) to start recording.

5Press [REC/OTR] (41) repeatedly to select the desired recording duration.

Every time you press this button, the recording duration indicated in the VCR display changes in the following order.

For example, if you select [30], the VCR records a programme from that moment for 30 minutes.

Counter display (normal recording mode) # 30 (min.) # 60 (min.) # 90 (min.) # 120 (min.) # 180 (min.) #

240 (min.) # Counter display (normal recording mode)

To Stop the OTR Recording Before the End:

Press [Stop] (9).

Notes:

The OTR function works during normal recording.

When the tape reaches its end during OTR recording, the VCR will turn itself off.

Operations

1Set [OSD REC] to [ON]. (See page 10.)
