Recording One Programme While Watching Another

If your unit is connected to the TV via the AV connection, press TV/VCR. The unit’s VCR indicator and the TV broadcast being recorded disappear. 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 programme selected with the TV’s channel controls appears on the TV screen, while the one selected with the unit’s PR buttons is recorded on the tape.

●If a decoder is connected to the unit ( pg. 51), you can select a scrambled channel as well with the TV channel controls.

NOTE:

You can also use the DVD deck in the following cases. Before use, be sure to turn on the unit and select the DVD deck.

Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours (selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the unit off after recording is finished.

1Start recording.

Press 7 on the unit.

3Set the recording duration.

If you want to record for more than 30 minutes, press 7 to extend the time. Each press extends recording time by 30 minutes.

NOTES:

●You can only perform ITR using the 7 button on the unit’s front panel.

●Still picture playback stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.

●When the end of the tape is reached during Instant Timer Recording or timer recording, the unit is turned off and “” and “$” blink on the front display panel.

●During Instant Timer Recording, any other timer programmed recording won’t start even if their start time has come. In such a case, the timer programmed recording starts (if the end time of the timer programmed recording is set after the end of Instant Timer Recording) after the Instant Timer Recording finishes.
