Helpful Hints

•Pressing the POWER button to turn on the VCR will set AUTO DBS RECORD LINK to OFF automatically.

•Do not turn on the DBS before the program starts; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the DBS power is turned on.

•Depending on the type of DBS, the VCR may not record the first few seconds of the program. Or, the VCR may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program.

•If a Record Link is set, regular timer recordings will not occur.

•“Err L-1” will flash on the display panel after the VCR turns off if the DBS power is on. Turn off the DBS and set up the Record Link again.
