To use the VCR after setting the timer
To use the VCR before a timer recording begins, just press I/u. The
indicator turns off and the VCR switches on. Remember to press I/u to
reset the VCR after using the VCR.
You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:
Reset the counter.
Display tape information on the TV screen.
Check the timer settings.
Watch another TV programme.
Tips
To set the programme position, you can also use the PROG +/– buttons.
To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button (SLV-SE40EE only).
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 menu (page 43) (SLV-SE40EE only).
To confirm, change, or clear the programme setting, press ?// to choose LIST,
then press OK after step 2. For details, see step 3 in “Checking/changing/
cancelling timer settings” (page 36).
Note
The indicator flashes in the display window when you press I/u with no tape
inserted.
