Notes

•To record a cable or satellite program, turn on the cable box or satellite receiver and select the program you want to record. Leave the cable box or satellite receiver turned on until the recorder finishes recording.

•Even when correctly set, the program may not be recorded if another recording is underway, or other prioritized timer setting overlaps.

•You cannot record on a tape with its safety tab removed.

•Before the timer recording starts, “TIMER REC” flashes in the front panel display.

•The recorder automatically turns off when a timer recording finishes, even if the recording started with the recorder turned on.

•Digital closed captions cannot be recorded (page 35).

•For audio settings, “Stream 1” is usually recorded (page 35).

•When you set the Digital Rating, a program with a digital rating beyond your limit setting cannot be recorded correctly (page 103).
