If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF
connection (
pg. 6) to view pictures from the VCR, press
TV/
VCR
on the Remote so that VCR mode indicator goes off from
the display panel. (The TV broadcast being recorded
disappears.)
●
If you are using the AV connection (
pg. 6) to view pictures
from the VCR, change the TV’s input mode from AV to TV.
Then, select the channel you want to watch, on the TV.
Second Audio Recording
This VCR’s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of
Multichannel TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program
received, set “2ND AUDIO RECORD” to “ON” (
pg. 15).
Timer Recording
Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using express
timer programing method as far as a year in advance. Remember,
the clock must be set before you can program the timer.
NOTES:
●
If all the 8 programs have already been set, “PROGRAM FULL”
appears on the TV screen.
●
After timer recording is completed, the VCR turns off
automatically.
●
You can program the timer recording while a regular recording
is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded.
●
Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer
programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other
menu settings are lost. As a result, when the power is supplied
again to this VCR after the power failure, this VCR starts the
Plug&Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and
channel setting. If the clock time and channel setting are
restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start
at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.
●
If the tape reaches its end during timer recording, the recording
stops and “
#

$
