TAPE SPEED so the desired SP or EP tape
speed appears.
Caution: Do not change the tape’s speed
during recording. Doing so might cause
playback to jitter at the point where you
changed the tape’s speed.

time, either:
• Repeatedly press RECORD to

change the displayed stop time forward
or backward in 1-minute increments.
To check or change the stop time setting dur-
ing QTR, simply press RECORD then repeat
Step 4.
When you finish entering, checking, or chang-
ing all the QTR information, simply wait 10 sec-
onds without pressing any key. The QTR
information disappears and the VCR stops re-
cording at the set stop time, then turns itself off.
To cancel the QTR stop time while the VCR is
recording, press CANCEL. Recording contin-
ues.
To completely stop recording, press STOP.
QTR Notes:
• You can program QTR information only
while a tape is recording. You cannot pro-
gram QTR information during playback or
while a tape is stopped.
• To ensure that you record the entire
desired program, start the recording a few
minutes before the start of the program
and set the recording stop time a few min-
utes after the scheduled end of the pro-
gram.
• Be sure the tape length you select for QTR
is long enough to record the entire pro-
gram. Even though you can set the VCR to
record for up to 24 hours, the actual
recording time is limited by the tape’s
length.
AUTOMATIC TIMER RECORDING
You can program the VCR’s automatic timer to
select a channel, start recording at a selected
time, then stop the recording at a selected
time.
You can set up to eight program timers to
record (on the same or different channels) any
combination of events:
• One-time (any time on a specific day within
a 1-year period)
• Daily (any time at the same time every day,
Monday–Friday or Monday–Saturday)
• Weekly (any time at the same time every
week)
Automatic timer recording consists of two
steps: setting the program timer and making
the automatic timer recording.
Notes:
• You must turn off the VCR for it to make an
automatic timer recording.
• Before you start, make sure the VCR’s
clock is correctly set (see “Setting the
Clock” on Page 22).
