To save a recording

To 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, for example, press 2 and 3 to select “PR 23.”

•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 information 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

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

•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.

•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.

•To use the TV Direct Rec function, select SMARTLINK in the INSTALLATION menu, then set TV DIRECT RECORD to ON.
