You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.
When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:

Direct Rec
“What You See Is What You Record”
You can easily record to VCR the images that you are watching on the TV.
For details, read the manual for your VCR.
Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING” is displayed.
In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:
•when recording images from an external device connected to the TV (for example a camcorder)
•when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled on a decoder
•when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive that channel.
When the VCR is not ready (for example when there is no tape inserted), “NO RECORDING” is displayed.
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control. Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.
