Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

Second Audio Recording

 

This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours (selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the unit off after recording is finished.

1 Press 7 on the unit to start recording.

2 Press 7 again to engage the ITR mode.

On the front display panel, “0:30” appears.

3 If you want to record for more than 30 minutes, press 7 to extend the time. Each press extends recording time by 30 minutes.

NOTES:

You can only perform ITR using the 7 button on the unit.

When the end of the tape is reached during timer recording or Instant Timer Recording, the cassette is automatically ejected and the unit is shut off.

During Instant Timer Recording, any other timer programed recording won’t start even if their start time has come. In such a case, the timer programed recording starts (if the end time of the timer programed recording is set after the end of Instant Timer Recording) after the Instant Timer Recording finishes.

Elapsed Recording Time Indication

1 Press DISPLAY until a counter reading appears on the front display panel.

2 Press CANCEL to reset the counter before starting recording or playback.

The counter is reset to “0:00:00” and shows the exact elapsed time as the tape runs. You can check the exact time of a recording or playback.

Tape Remaining Time

1 Press DISPLAY until the time remaining on the tape appears.

By pressing the DISPLAY button, you can change display to show the clock time, counter reading or tape remaining time.

NOTES:

When you press DISPLAY, the on-screen display appears on the TV screen for 5 seconds, then the displays other than the counter disappears. To clear the counter display, press DISPLAY.

Depending on the type of tape being used, the tape remaining time reading may not appear right away, or is not correct.

“– –:– –” may sometimes appear, or the display may blink on occasion.

This unit’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set “2ND AUDIO RECORD” to “ON”. ( pg. 76)

NOTE:

When the channel is changed on the unit;

The “STEREO” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a stereo broadcast.

The “SAP” indicator appears on the screen for about 5 seconds if the program is a SAP broadcast.

Both indicators appear when a stereo program is accompanied by SAP sound.

Accidental erasure prevention

To prevent accidental recording on a recorded cassette, remove its safety tab. To record on it later, cover the hole with adhesive tape.
