Specifying recording length

— Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

During recording, press REC (7) on the VCR repeatedly until the recording length you want appears on the display panel. The record indicator () on the display panel starts blinking.

●Each time you press the button, recording length increases in 30-minute intervals (up to 6 hours).

●The VCR shuts off after recording is finished.

●To cancel an ITR, press STOP (8) on the Remote or STOP/EJECT (0) on the VCR.

Watching one program while recording another

During recording…

●If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF connection to view pictures from the VCR, press TV/VCR on the Remote so that VCR mode indicator goes off from the display panel. (The TV broadcast being recorded disappears.)

●If you are using the AV connection to view pictures from the VCR, change the TV’s input mode from AV to TV.

Then, select the channel you want to watch, on the TV.

Second Audio Recording

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

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.
