Recording TV programmes
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 TVs 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 84).
Notes
You cannot record what you are watching using this method when the VCR is in
the following modes; pause, timer standby, tuner preset, Auto Set Up, and
recording.
When the TV indicator is lit in the display window, do not turn off the TV nor
change the TV programme position. When the TV indicator is not lit, the VCR
continues recording the programme even if you change the TV programme
position on the TV.
