TIMER RECORDING HINTS

The Model 28 can record only one broad- cast at a time. If you program the Model 28’s timer to record broadcasts on different channels that start at the same time, the Model 28 records the broadcast with the lowest program number.

If you set a timer and turn off the Model 28 without loading a tape, the TIMER REC indicator flashes.

If you insert a tape with its erase-protection tab removed and set a timer, the TIMER REC indicator flashes and the tape ejects.

TIMER REC STANDBY flashes on the TV screen for 2 minutes before a set start time if the Model 28 is still on. If this happens, press POWER to turn it off.

If there is a power failure or the Model 28 is unplugged for more than 1 minute, the clock setting and all timer settings are cleared.

If the today timer and an automatic timer overlap, the today timer program has prior- ity. When the today timer program ends, the Model 28 switches to record the remainder of the automatic timer program.

If automatic timers overlap, the one that starts first has priority. When the first pro- gram ends, the Model 28 switches to record the remainder of the second pro- gram.

The TIMER REC indicator flashes after any timer recording ends.

DUBBING (COPYING) A TAPE

The process of recording from one audio/video device to another is called dubbing.

Connecting a Dubbing Source

You can use a VCR, camcorder, satellite receiv- er, or other device with A/V outputs as the dub- bing source, connect the dubbing source to the Model 28, then use your Model 28 to record the signal from the dubbing source.

Note: Always use video-quality shielded cables with phono-type connectors to connect a dub- bing source to the Model 28. Do not use stan- dard audio patch cords.
