To save a recordingTo prevent accidental erasure, break off the safety tab as illustrated. To record on the same tape again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.

Tips

• To select a programme position, you can use the programme number buttons on the remote

commander. For two-digit numbers, press the - (ten’s digit) button followed by the

programme number buttons.

• If you connect additional equipment to the LIGNE-1 (TV) or ENTREE LIGNE-2 connect or,

you can select the input signal using the CHOIX ENTREE or CHAINE +/– buttons.

• The AFFICH information appears on the TV screen indicating information about the

tape, but the information won’t be recorded on the tape.

• If you don’t want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV. When using a

decoder, make sure to leave it on.

Notes

• The AFFICH information does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-motion

playback.

• The AFFICH information will not appear while playing an NTSC-reco rded tape.

• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL (SECAM, MESECAM) and NTSC systems, the

time counter reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference betwee n

the counting cycles of the two video systems.

• When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time may not be

correct.

• The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.

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

• The station name may not appear if the VCR doe s not receive station name information

signals.
