To Record a Second Audio Program (SAP)
Some stations transmit a Second Audio Program - such as in a second language. If a
station broadcasts in SAP, the SAP indicator will display on your VCR.
You can set the VCR to record a second audio program by activating the SAP option
through the Easy Guide System.
Press GUIDE, then press 1 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.
Press DISPLAY, and then press 2 to set the SECOND AUDIO option to ON.
When this is set, the VCR records the second audio program.
Using the Instant Recording Timer (IRT)
The Instant Recording Timer (REC/LENGTH and IRT/START buttons on the VCR) will
let you make a simplified timer recording without having to use the programming timer.
In order to set the IRT properly the clock must be set before starting.
Follow the steps 1 through 6 on "Basic Recording Steps" on page 41.
After the recording has started, press the REC/LENGTH button on the VCR again to
indicate the recording time on the display.
You can set the recording time length, which increases by intervals of 30 minutes, one
hour, one and one half hours, two hours, three hours, and four hours, (i.e. 0:30, 1:00,
1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00) by continually pressing the REC/LENGTH button. While you are
recording, the time remaining is shown in the display.
At the end of your recording the display will read "0:00"; recording will then
automatically stop and the VCR will turn itself off.
To stop recording while in the IRT mode, press the POWER button and then press the
STOP button (this can be done either on the VCR or with the remote control) within 10
seconds.
