Timer Record Errors

If there is a problem with your Timer Recording, you will
see one of the following error messages on your On-Screen
Display:
TAPE MISSING TAB - The record safety tab is missing
on your videotape. To record, you must cover the tab
with cellophane tape.
TAPE MISSING - There is no videotape in the recording
deck. To record, you must insert a tape.
DECK NOT READY - The recording deck is not ready to
record because it is in use. To record, either stop the deck
or wait for it to clear before proceeding.

Timer Record Priorities

If you accidentally set the Timer to record different events (on
different channels) at the same time, your Dual-Deck VCR
prioritizes these events according to the following rules:
1Priority is given to the event with the latest starting
time. An event in progress will be interrupted by an
event with a later starting time.
2Priority is given to the event with the highest event
number. If Event 1 and Event 2 start at the same time,
the Dual-Deck VCR will record Event 2.

Complete Program Record

Complete Program Record, or CPR, slows down the record-
ing speed to help prevent you from missing the end of a
Timer Recording. Here’s how it works:
CPR is activated automatically when you set the Record
Speed to AUTO in a Timer Recording (see page 30).
Tape Length must be set correctly for this feature to
work (see page 28).
