The programmed recording will always be made at the
recording speed (SP/LP) that

at the time

has been

selected on the video recorder.

interrupt the programmed recording, press the

button.

If the video recorder is switched on a few minutes before

If the end of the cassette is reached during a
programmed recording, the video recorder automatically
ejects the cassette.

If you forget to load a cassette, after programming the

for a few seconds.

If you insert a cassette with erase protection, after

appear on the TV screen for a few seconds.
