To prepare the Synchronised recording

3 Hold SYNCHRO REC down for more than two seconds.
The SYNCHRO REC button lights up and the VCR stands by for recording.
The VCR automatically turns on and starts recording when it receives audio/video signals from the connected equipment.
To cancel the Synchronised recording
Press SYNCHRO REC so that the button’s light turns off.
To stop recording
Press x STOP while recording.
The VCR automatically stops recording when the tape reaches the end or when the other equipment stops transmitting the audio/video signals.
Notes
•Some TVs or other equipment automatically turn off in a certain time if you do not operate it after it turns on with the timer. In this case the Synchronised Recording also stops automatically.
•The Synchronised Recording starts and stops according to the signals from the connected equipment. Refer also to the instruction manual of the connected equipment for its timer function.
•Some equipment keeps transmitting signals even though the power is off. In this case, the Synchronised Recording feature does not work because the VCR will not be able to know when to start recording.
•You can record tapes only in SP mode.
