RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by
the new recording. Why does this happen?
A.
This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and
resume points.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the recording
pause mode?
A.
No. The VCR automatically stops after 5 minutes to
protect the heads. When paused during Instant Timer
Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts off automatically after
5 minutes.

Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape
or a TV broadcast?

Yes, but while you are setting the timer you will not
see the tape’s or broadcast program’s picture as it is
replaced by the on-screen menu. (The sound from
the tape or broadcast program will be heard during
the timer setting.)
