If you want to start and stop a recording manual- ly, read the section ‘Recording without auto-

matic switch-off’.

If you want to start a recording manually but have it stopped automatically, read the section

‘Recording with automatic switch-off’. (e.g.

LINK)’, if you want a recording to be controlled automatically by a satellite receiver.

Preventing accidental erasing

All cassettes (except rental and pre-recorded cassettes)

have a security tab on the back of the cassette. To prevent recording over important recordings (eras-

ing), you can remove this security tab.

If you later decide to record on a protected cas- sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape or slide the tab to the right.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows: 1.Find the tape position of the old recording

where you want to insert the new recording.

2.Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).

3.Press STILL 2 at the tape position where the new recording is to go and press REC I .

4.Now start recording as usual by pressing on the remote control.

5.Stop recording with STOP C-L .
