Q. When playing back programs that have been timer- recorded consecutively (such one program from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to 10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily distorted where the first program ends and the second program begins. Is this a malfunction?

for Video Navigation.

Q.During playback, on-screen display sometimes jitters. Why does this happen?

A.If the condition of the tape being played back is not good, jittering of the video (including on-screen display) may occur.

RECORDING

Q.When I pause and then resume a recording, the end of the recording before the pause is overlapped by the new recording. Why does this happen?

A.This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and

resume points.

Q.Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the recording pause mode?

5 minutes.

in progress.

Q.Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape or a TV broadcast?

A.Yes, but while you are setting the timer you will not see the tape’s or broadcast program’s picture as it is replaced by the on-screen menu. (The sound from the tape or broadcast program will be heard during the timer setting.)
