Make sure you press AUTO VN/LD before performing timer programming.

NOTES:

●The Auto VN/LD Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180 as well as some tapes of shorter lengths.

●Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO VN/LD and the button lights, that doesn’t mean that the recorder will automatically change from VN to LD mode during the course of the recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.

●If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programs, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto VN/LD Timer mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

●There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the recorder switches from VN to LD mode.

●If you perform timer recording with both PDC and the Auto VN/LD Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

Timer Warning

If you have programmed your recorder to timer-record a programme or a series of programmes, a warning appears on screen to tell you that the recording is to start in 5 minutes.

PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over advertised times you preset in the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

To Use PDC Service . . .

The default setting for PDC is "M.". To cancel PDC, press : PDC (NUMBER key “7”) so that "A." is displayed during

NOTES:

●The warning only appears if

you’re not in the Timer mode at that time.

SHOWVIEW or regular timer programming.

NOTES:

●When you manually enter programmes (regular timer programming), set the start time (PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●PDC Recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable box is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.
