To use the VCR before a timer recording begins, just press ON/STANDBY. The indicator turns off and the VCR switches on. Remember to press ON/STANDBY to reset the VCR after using the VCR.

You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:

•Reset the counter.

•Display tape information on the TV screen.

•Check the timer settings.

•Watch another TV programme.

Tips

•To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button.

•When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO TAPE SPEED to OFF in the TAPE OPTIONS menu (page 54).
