To use the VCR after setting the timer
To use the VCR before a recording begins, just press ?/1. The indicator
turns off and the VCR switches on. Remember to press ?/1 to reset the
VCR to recording standby after using the VCR.
You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:
• Reset the counter (page 41).
• Display tape information on the TV screen (page 44).
• Check the timer settings (page 63).
• Watch another TV programme (page 44).
Tips
• To set the programme position, you can also use the PROG +/– or programme
number buttons.
• To set the programme position with a two digit number, press - (ten’s digit)
button followed by the programme number buttons.
• To set the line input video source, you can also use the PROG +/– 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 71).
• Even if you set TIMER OPTIONS to SHOWVIEW in the OPTIONS-2 menu, you
can set the timer manually. Press MENU to select TIMER, then go to step 2.
• To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, press </, to choose LIST,
then press OK in step 2. For details, see step 3 in “Checking/changing/cancelling
timer settings” (page 63).
Notes
• When setting the timer with VPS/PDC signals, enter the start and stop times
exactly as indicated in the TV programme guide. Otherwise, the VPS/PDC
function won’t work.
• 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 ?/1 with no tape
inserted.
• The VPS/PDC function is automatically set to OFF for the timer recording of a
satellite programme.
• The station name may not appear if the VCR does not receive station name
information signals.
