Make sure you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER before performing timer programming.
NOTES:
● The Auto SP/LP Timer feature is not available during ITR |
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work |
properly with any tapes longer than |
tapes of shorter lenghs. |
● Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and it lights |
“green”, that doesn’t mean that the recorder will automati- |

more programs, the second programme and those thereafter |
may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer |
mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then |
set the tape speed manually during timer programming. |

[CANCEL]
● There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the |
recorder switches from SP to LP mode. |
● If you perform timer recording with both PDC/VPS and the |
Auto SP/LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond |
its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the |
programme cannot be recorded in its entirety. |
PDC/VPS Recording
NOTES:
●The warning only appears if
you’re not in the Timer mode at that time.
●If this recorder is being used as the player for tape dubbing, the warning screen is recorded on the tape in the other video recorder.
The warning blinks for the entire 5 minutes leading up to the start of timer recording. To clear the display, press CANCEL.
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over advertised times you preset in the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.
To Use PDC/VPS Service . . .
The default setting for PDC/VPS is "ON". To cancel PDC/VPS, press NUMBER key "7" so that "OFF" is displayed on screen during ShowView or regular timer programming.
NOTES:
●When you manually enter programmes (regular timer programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.
●PDC/VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.
