Smart Time Record Function
Sometimes, TV program start or end times are later than published schedules. With the Smart Time Record function, the VCR is informed of the altered times and adjusts Program Timer recording to the actual broadcast time.
This function operates by recognizing program rating signals incorporated into broadcasts. When you have programmed the timer up to step 6, you can call up the Type and Smart Time Rec. setting menu by pressing the TYPE button on the remote control and then follow steps
7through G on page 30.
Not all TV stations transmit rating information signals.
NOTES:
œIf more than one programmed recording set with the Smart Time Record function is delayed, the VCR will wait (up to 3 hours) for the first one to be broadcast and that program will have priority over the other programmed recordings.
œIf the option Auto A/V select is set to “On” and the input at the front A/V input connectors is being viewed, when a program is delayed, the message “Smart Time Rec.” will flash from the scheduled start time (setup on the VCR) to the actual start time of the program broadcast (up to a maximum of 3 hours).
œIf the start time of a programmed recording not using the Smart Time Record function is reached during the start time wait period for a delayed recording programmed with the Smart Time Record function, the recording programmed without the Smart Time Record function will have priority and will first be recorded to the end.
œIf the Smart Time Record function is set after having set the Smart Speed Record function, the tape speed will change to SLP and the Smart Speed Record function will not operate. Note that even if the Smart Time Record function is set to “Off”, the tape speed will remain as set and will not return automatically to its previous setting.
œIf the program transmission start time is delayed more than 3 hours the function will be canceled.
œIf the previous and following programs are not rated, and the desired program broadcast time is changed, the unit may record some of the previous or following program.
