Tips

•To set the programme position, you can also use the PROG +/– or programme number buttons.

•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 51).

Notes

•When setting the timer with VPS/PDC signals, enter the start and stop times exactly as indicated in the TV programme guide, otherwise the VPS/PDC function won’t work.

•If the VPS/PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit VPS/PDC signals, the VCR will start recording at the set time without using the VPS/PDC function.

•The indicator flashes in the display window when you press ON/STANDBY with no tape inserted.
