Tips

•To select a programme position, you can use the number buttons on the remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press -/-- (ten’s digit) followed by the number buttons.

•If you connect additional equipment to a LINE connector or jack, you can select the input signal using the INPUT SELECT or PROG +/– buttons.

•The display appears on the TV screen indicating information about the tape, but the information will not be recorded on the tape.

•If you do not want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV. When using a satellite or digital tuner, make sure to leave it on.

Notes

•If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the counting cycles of the two video systems.

•The remaining tape length may not be indicated accurately for short tapes such as T-20 or T-30, or tapes recorded in LP mode.

•The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.

•About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be displayed.

•You cannot record a DVD to a VCR tape.

•To watch a TV programme during video recording, stop disc playback.
