Programming Reminders
• The timer light will flash if you have programmed the
VCR but forgotten to insert a cassette.
• The VCR will automatically eject the cassette after you
have programmed the timer and turned off the VCR if
the cassette has its safety tap removed. This is to
remind you to put in a new cassette or cover the safety
tab. (See page 9.)
TV Viewing During a Timer Recording
When the VCR turns on automatically to make a timer
recording, it does not disturb whatever program you may
be watching at the time. Press the VCR/TVswitch to turn
on the VCR light if you want to monitor the recording.
Stopping a Timer Recording While In Progress
Press POWER and then press STOP within 10 seconds.
(Press POWER once more to turn off the VCR). This
erases a Normal program from the timer's memory, but a
Daily or Weekly program will record on the next sched-
uled day.
