Recording TV programmes
To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the
safety tab as illustrated. To record on the
same tape again, cover the tab hole with
adhesive tape.
Tips
• To select a programme position, you can use the programme number buttons on the
remote commander. For two-digit numbers, for example, press 2 and 3 to select
“PR 23.”
• If you connect additional equipment to a LINE connector or jack, you can select
the input signal using the INPUT SELECT or PROG +/– buttons.
• The DISPLAY information appears on the TV screen indicating information
about the tape, but the information will not be recorded on the tape.
• If you do not want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV. When
using a decoder, make sure to leave it on.
Notes
• The DISPLAY information does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-
motion playback.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL (MESECAM) 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 Canal Plus programme while recording another 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.
