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 SA indicator will display on your TV screen.
You can set the VCR to record a second audio program by activating the SAP option through the
Easy Guide System.
n Press MENU, then press 5 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.
n Press 4 to set the SAP option to ON.
n Make sure that STEREO/MONO selection is set to STEREO.
When this is set, the VCR records the second audio program.
Using the Instant Recording Timer (IRT)
The Instant Recording Timer (REC/IRT button 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 steps 1 through 5 on "Basic Recording Steps" on pages 36 and 37.
After the recording has started, press the REC/IRT button 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 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/IRT 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.
Setting the VCR to Record Later
With the delayed recording feature, you can set this VCR so that it automatically comes on and
records programs whenever you like – without your being around! You can record a program
one time only, or you can automatically record a show every weekday or every week at the same
time. You can preset as many as 8 timed recordings at once.
Recording is even easier when you have set up your channels for the VCR Plus+ system. Learn
the basics of delayed recording in this section. Then read about VCR Plus+ system beginning on
page 43.
We suggest you try all the different ways of programming the VCR when you have some leisure
time, so you can learn how it works. That way, when an important show is going to be on that
you really want to record, you'll be confident that your timed recording setup will work.
