How to Set a Timer Recording

Timer Recording Errors/Solutions

Time Record icon

Complete Program Record, or CPR, helps to ensure you won’t run out of tape before your Timer Recording is complete. When Auto is selected, the Timer event begins to record in SP; the DVD-VCR then calculates how much time is remaining on the tape and adjusts the record speed to SLP if necessary to fit the entire event. If there is not enough tape to record the entire event, the DVD-VCR will record in SLP until the end of the tape is reached.

6Set Event Type

Use the number buttons (1–4) to set the type of event, i.e. how often the event will be recorded. The default setting is “1–Time”.

11–Time – The event will be recorded only once.

2Monday-Friday – The event will be recorded every weekday.

3Weekly – The event will be recorded once a week.

4Always – The event will be recorded every single day.

7Set Recording Source

Use the number buttons (1–3) to set the Record Source. The default setting is the current tuner (television) channel.

1CH # – Records from the Tuner. Use the number buttons (0–9) to set the channel number.

2Line 1 – Records from the front line inputs

3Line 2 – Records from the rear line inputs.

8Set Recording Speed

Use the number buttons (1–3) to set the Recording Speed. The default setting is Auto.

1Auto – Complete Program Record (see sidebar).

2SP – Standard Play. Delivers best quality. A T-120 tape will record 2 hours.

3SLP – Super Long Play. Delivers maximum recording time.

A T-120 tape will record 6 hours.

10Programming is Complete!

The event is stored in memory and will record at the scheduled time. A Timer icon will appear on the front panel display to indicate that an event is programmed.

•The VCR will automatically turn on when the Timer Recording begins.

If there is a problem with your Timer Recording, the Timer icon will flash on the Front Panel Display and an error message will appear on the On-Screen Display. Once you correct the error, the event will begin if there is still time remaining for that event. You can also clear the event in the Event Summary screen.

1Tape Missing

There is no videotape in the VCR deck.

•Insert a videotape in the VCR deck.

2Tape Missing Tab

The videocassette is missing the Record Safety Tab.

•Insert a video cassette with the Record Safety Tab intact, or place a small piece of adhesive tape over the opening to permit recording

3Not Ready

The VCR deck is not in Stop mode (e.g., it is playing, rewinding, etc.).

•Press Stop to stop the VCR deck

4Overlapping Events

Two or more events are programmed to occur at the same time:

•When you program a new event, the DVD-VCR checks all timer events for conflicts. If two events overlap, you will be prompted to either delete one of the events, or allow them to overlap.

•If events overlap, the first event will be completely recorded, then the next event will start and the remainder of that event will be recorded.
