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
7 through 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.
