NOTES:
When the channel is changed on the VCR;
●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.

Record One Program 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 program selected with the TV’s channel controls appears on the TV screen, while the one selected with the VCR’s CH buttons is recorded on the tape.

1Start recording.
Press REC (7) on the VCR.
2Engage the ITR mode.
Press REC (7) again. “o” 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 REC (7) to extend the time. Each press extends recording time by 30 minutes.
NOTE:
You can only perform ITR using the REC (7) button on the VCR’s front panel.
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This time code is used to confirm the position on the tape when playing back or editing a tape. To perform Random Assemble Editing ( pg. 64), time code is necessary.
Press DISPLAY/OSD until the time code on the tape appears on the front display panel.
●By pressing the DISPLAY/OSD button, you can change the display to show the time code, channel position*, clock time.
*Channel position is not displayed during playback.
NOTES:
The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.
A “blank portion” of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start recording in a blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from “0:00:00” again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.
In the following cases, you should play back the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:
●When starting recording in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.
●When you finish recording on a tape, then played back that recording in order to check it, and now wish to continue recording.
●When you lost power or the batteries died while you were recording with a camcorder.
