Tips
To set the programme position with a two digit number, press ? (ten’s digit)
button followed by the programme number button.
To set the programme position, you can also use the PROG +/– button or
programme number buttons.
To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button.
When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape
becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to
the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the
tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO LONG
PLAY to OFF in the OPTIONS-1 menu (page 72).
To confirm, change, or clear the programme setting, press ?// to choose LIST,
then press OK after step 4. For details, see step 3 in “Checking/changing/
cancelling timer settings” (page 60).
Notes
If the VPS/PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit
VPS/PDC signals, the VCR will start recording at the set time without using the
VPS/PDC function.
The indicator flashes in the display window when you press I/u with no tape
inserted.
When you set TIMER OPTIONS to STANDARD in the OPTIONS-2 menu, the
SHOWVIEW menu does not appear on the TV screen. Select SHOWVIEW or
VARIABLE.
