If a tape runs out during timer recording, the VCR ejects the tape and the pro-
grammed recording light (
PROG REC
) and the tape status symbol ( ) will flash. Load a
new tape and press REC. Recording will resume.
The programmed recording will be cancelled unless you turn the VCR off before
the recording starts. Do not use an integrated HDTV or an IEEE 1394-equipped
HDTV receiver to turn on or function the VCR while the VCR is in stand-by mode for
the timer recording.
If you forget to load a tape, the programmed recording light (
PROG REC
) and the tape
status symbol ( ) will flash when you turn the VCR power off. (A tape without an
erasure tab will be ejected. To correct this, load a tape with its erasure tab intact,
and turn off the VCR.)
Do not overlap the recording times you enter into the VCR. If you set two analog
programmed recording times to overlap, VCR is already programmed for that time
will appear on your screen. When you set the analog and the D-VHS timer record-
ing times overlap, these timer recordings may not be recorded correctly.
Remember that the VCR will record over the next section of tape. If you want to
save a tape, remove it and instead use a different tape for a new recording.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure prevention tab removed.
All rental movies have this tab removed, so they are safe from being accidentally
erased.
Auto Speed Programming
Use auto speed programming if you want to record as much of the program as
possible in standard play (SP) speed, but you want the VCR to automatically switch
to extended play (EP) if there is not enough tape left.
Auto speed programming is only available for one program. In the first slot, the
recording speed default is AUTO.
Make sure that the Tape video function matches the length of tape you are using.
See Selecting and adjusting the audio and video functions on page 36.
At the point where the recording mode changes from standard play (SP) to ex-
tended play (EP), some noise may be in the picture or sound when playing the
tape.
Program Caution
If your VCR is set to record in analog format, but the power is still ON within 3
minutes before timer recording starts, this screen will appear to remind you to turn
off the VCR.
If the VCR is still turned on 12 seconds before the start time of the recording, that
timer recording will be cancelled.
