5. Manual recording
General information
Use 'Manual recording' to make a spontaneous recording (for example, a programme currently being shown).
If you want to start and stop a recording manual- ly, read the section 'Recording without auto-
matic switch-off'.
Read the section 'DIRECT RECORD' if you want to record a programme currently being shown.
Read the section 'Automatic controlled record- ing from a satellite receiver (RECORD LINK)',
if you want a recording to be controlled automati- cally by a satellite receiver.
Recording without automatic switch-off

A cassette without its security tab had been inserted. Cover the hole with adhesive tape or insert a new cassette.
Preventing accidental erasing
All cassettes (except rental and
cassettes) have a securi- ty tab on the back of the cassette. To prevent recording over important record-
ings (erasing), you can remove this security tab. If you later decide to record on a protected cas- sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape or slide the tab to the right.
Lining up recordings (assemble cut)
When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:
1.Find the tape position of the old recording where you want to insert the new recording.
2.Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).
3.Press STILL 2 at the tape position where the new recording is to go and press REC I .
4.Now start recording as usual by pressing 
on the remote control.
5.Stop recording with STOP
Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)
