Timer Record Priorities

Your Dual-Deck VCR must prioritize your Timer Record
Events if you have accidentally set the Timer to record
different events at the same time. If there is a Timer Record
Event conflict, the Dual-Deck VCR will:
1. Give priority to the event with the latest starting time.
An event in progress will be interrupted by an event
with a later starting time.
2. Give priority 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.
Fail-Safe Timer Recording
The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR will alert you if there are
any Timer Record errors. First, the
TIMER
indicator on the
Front Panel Display will blink. You will also see a message
on the Screen Display telling you what the error is.
VHS: TAPE MISSING
This means that you have forgotten to insert a blank tape
into the VHS deck.
VHS: TAPE MISSING TAB
This means that the tape in the VHS deck is missing the
Record Safety Tab, and you can’t record onto it. Either put a
piece of adhesive tape over the hole in the tape, or insert a
tape with the safety tab intact.
HOLDING EVENT: #
An event is holding if it would be currently recording, but
isn’t, due to one of the above errors. Correcting the error will
start the recording.
