Optimus 114 (16-551) VCR User Manual


 
38
Notes:
The VCR can record only one broadcast at
a time. If you set the VCR’s timer to record
broadcasts on different channels that start
at the same time, the VCR only records the
broadcast that has the lowest timer num-
ber (see “Checking/Changing Timers” on
Page 40).
If two timer settings overlap, the one that
starts first has priority. The VCR begins
recording the second broadcast after the
set time for the first broadcast is over.
The VCR must be off at the start time you
set for it to begin an automatic timer
recording.
If there is a power failure of more than 30
minutes during a timer recording, the
recording does not resume after power is
restored.
If there is a power failure of more than 30
minutes before a start time, the VCR loses
the clock setting and therefore does not
start automatic timer recording. However, if
you have an EDS channel in your area and
have set the VCR to automatically set the
clock from the EDS signal, the clock is
reset within 10 minutes after power is
restored and you turn on the VCR, and the
VCR records at the set time(s).
