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.

Safety tab

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

•The DISPLAY information will not appear while playing an NTSC-recorded tape.

•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.

•You cannot watch a PAY-TV/Canal Plus programme while recording another PAY-TV/Canal Plus programme.*2

•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*1 may not appear if the VCR does not receive station name information signals.
