Priorities

Setting the Timer to Record Later

▲If the timer is correctly programmed, PROG will be lighted on the Front Panel Display.

When the event begins recording, PROG and TIMER will be lighted.

If TIMER is flashing on the Front Panel Display, there is an error. The On- Screen Display will display TIMER RECORD ERROR, and DECK 1 (or DECK 2): TAPE MISSING or TAPE MISSING TAB. Check that there is a tape in the proper deck, and that the record safety tab is intact on the tape.

Your VCR-2 can be turned off once steps ∂ through ≤ are completed. TIMER and PROG will be lighted on the Front Panel Display. Your VCR-2 will automatically turn on when the event begins and will automatically turn off when the event is complete.

If you have a cable converter connected to the In From Cable connector on your VCR-2, as on page 35, you will need to make sure the converter is left ON and set to the proper channel for your Timer Recording.

Press Stop to stop an event that is in progress. The recording will stop and the timer settings will be cleared if the event was a Normal event. Daily and Weekly events will be updated automatically for the next date that was programmed.

If an event is not able to start properly, due to an error or because there is a tape playing in that deck, the event will be held. The On-Screen Display will display HOLDING EVENT and the event number, each minute until either the event is over or the problem is corrected. Any events that are held will stop at their original time.

An asterisk (✱) next to an event number in the Timer Recording Summary indicates the event is currently recording or holding. ▲

With the ability to store settings for up to 16 events, your VCR-2 must prioritize the events. If two events require different channels, or the same deck at the same time, priority is given in the following order:

Latest starting time - An event in progress will be interrupted by an event with a later starting time.

Highest event number - If starting times are the same, event 2 has higher priority than event 1, event 3 has priority over 2 or 1, etc.
