Notes
• The DISPLAY information does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-
motion playback.
• The DISPLAY information will not appear while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the
counting cycles of the two video systems.
• You cannot watch a PAY-TV/Canal Plus programme while recording another
PAY-TV/Canal Plus programme.
• When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time
may not be correct.
• The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.
• About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be
displayed.
• The station name may not appear if the VCR does not receive station name
information signals.
Recording what you are watching on the TV (TV Direct
Rec)
If you use the SMARTLINK connection, you can easily record what you are
watching on the TV (other than tapes being played on the VCR).
Tips
• The TV indicator appears in the display window after you press z REC in some
situations such as:
–when you are watching a source connected to the TV’s line input, or
–when the TV tuner preset data for the programme position is different from the
data in the VCR tuner preset.
• If there is a tape with its safety tab in place in the VCR, the VCR automatically
turns on and starts recording what you are watching on the TV when you press
z REC.
• You can turn the TV Direct Rec function ON and OFF in the OPTIONS-2 menu
(see page 72).
