Timer Recording
There are two methods of timer recording: one uses the internal timer and the other uses an external timer.
Internal Timer Recording
Start time and stop time
Bear in mind the following points when setting these
times.
•When the stop time is set later than the start time:
Recording will commence at the start time on the day
concerned and stop at the end time on the same day.
Example: 8:30 → 17:00
•When the start time is set later than the stop time
or the start time and stop time for weekly record-
ing (weekly timer) are the same:
Recording starts at the start time on the day con-
cerned and ends at the stop time on the following day.
Example: 17:00 → 8:30
•When the start time and stop time are the same
(for weekly recording):
Recording starts at 8:30 on the day concerned and
ends at 8:30 on the following day.
Example: 8:30 → 8:30
To record for an entire day, set the start time and stop
time to 0:00.
•Weekly recording (weekly timer) can be set by the
day of the week.
•When (INTERNAL TIMER REC) on Menu Screen
5 is set to OFF for both the weekly timer and daily
recording (daily timer), nothing appears for the
start or stop time. Timer recording is considered
not to be set.
Internal timer recording operation
VTR operations after the settings
• The unit’s power is turned off, and even if other but-
tons are pressed, their operations are not accepted.
•When the start time and stop time have not been set,
INT flashes on the display.
Releasing the internal timer mode
Set the TIMER MODE switch to OFF to clear INT on the
display.
Note:
• Since it takes some moments for recording to start,
set the start time for timer recording one minute
earlier.
