RECORDING/PLAYBACK ON VHS DECK (cont.)
Recording Features Record One Programme While
Watching Another
Once recording is in progress, all you need to do is to set
the channel controls on the TV for the station you wish to
view.
●The programme selected with the TV’s channel controls
appears on the TV screen, while the one selected with the
recorder’s VCR PR buttons is recorded on the tape.
●If a decoder is connected to the recorder (墌pg. 78), you can
select a scrambled channel as well with the TV channel
controls.
Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours
(selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the recorder off
after recording is finished.
1Start recording.
Press 7 on the recorder.
2Engage the ITR mode.
Press 7 again. “7” blinks and “0:30” appears on the front
display panel.
3Set the recording duration.
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 recorder’s
front panel.
●When the end of the tape is reached during instant timer
recording, the cassette is ejected, then the recorder is powered
off automatically.
●Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.
●Slide TV/CABLE/SAT switch to the right.
●If the recorder is turned on with HDD deck selected,
there may be about 30 seconds’ delay in starting to
show pictures on the screen.
Recording Resume Function
If there is a power outage during recording, Instant Timer
Recording (in the right column) or timer recording
(墌pg. 46, 48), the recording will resume automatically
when power is restored to the recorder unless the recorder’s
memory backup has expired.
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.
