JVC HR-A57U manual Timer Recording, Express Timer Programing

Timer Recording

Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using Express timer programing method as far as a year in advance. Remember, the clock must be set before you can program the timer.

NOTES:

●If all the 8 programs have already been set, “PROGRAM FULL” or “Full” appears on the TV screen or the display panel.

●After timer recording is completed, the VCR turns off automatically.

●You can program the timer recording while a regular recording is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded.

●To timer-record cable or satellite channels, be sure to keep the cable box or DBS receiver turned on with the correct channel selected.

●Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other menu settings are lost. As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, this VCR starts the Plug&Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and channel setting. If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.

CPress OK or PROG..

●If “PROGRAM NOT COMPLETED PROGRAM OVERLAP” appears, see “Program overlap warning display”.

DPress TIMER. The VCR turns off automatically and “#” is displayed on the display panel.
