Record One Programme While Watching Another

SELECT PRESET TO WATCH

1 Once recording is in progress, all you need to do is to set the preset controls on the TV for the station you wish to view.

The programme selected with the TV’s preset controls appears on the TV screen while the one selected with the recorder's PR buttons is recorded on the tape.

Instant Timer Recording (ITR)

This easy method lets you record for from 30 minutes to 6 hours (VHS) or to 120 minutes (DV) (selectable in 30-min. increments), and shuts the recorder off after recording is finished.

START RECORDING

ENGAGE ITR MODE

DURATION

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

NOTES:

You can only perform ITR using the RECORD button on the recorder's front panel.

You can play a tape on one deck while using the other deck for Instant Timer Recording. However, remember that the deck will turn itself off when the Instant Timer Recording ends.

Recording Resume Function

If there is a power cut during recording (or Instant Timer Recording or timer recording), the recording will resume automatically when power is restored to the recorder unless the recorder's memory backup has expired.
