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” appears on the TV screen.

●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.

●If the tape reaches its end during timer recording, the recording stops and “ #“, “ ” and “ $” on the display panel blink. Press TIMER to disengage timer, then press STOP/EJECT (0) on the VCR to eject the cassette or press POWER 1 then press REW (3) to rewind the tape.
