HINTS FOR TIMER RECORDING

If there is a power failure or the VCR is unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.

If the tape runs out before the end time, the VCR will switch to the Stop mode immediately, eject the tape and the VCR power will be turned off. The TIMER indicator will flash.

If a tape is not in the VCR or does not have the safety tab, the TIMER indicator flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable tape.
