Panasonic AG-3200P manual Timer Recording, Changing VCR Plus+ Setting, VCR Plus+ Timer Programing

Timer Recording

Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using VCR Plus+ timer programing, Express timer programing or 24HR Quick Programing method as far as a year in advance. Remember, the clock must be set before you can program the timer.

NOTES:

●If all the 8 programs have already been set, “PROGRAM FULL” appears on the TV screen.

●After timer recording is completed, the VCR turns off automatically.

●You can program the timer recording while a regular recording is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded.

●Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other menu settings are lost. As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, this VCR starts the Plug&Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and channel setting. If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

●If the tape reaches its end during timer recording, the recording stops and “ #“, “ ” and “ $” on the display panel blink. Press TIMER to disengage timer, then press STOP/EJECT (0) on the VCR to eject the cassette or press POWER 1 then press REW (3) on the Remote to rewind the tape.

Changing VCR Plus+® Setting
