Memory Backup in Case of Power Failure
This VCR includes a built-in backup memory, so the preset day and present time will
remain in memory even if there is a power failure. However, if the power cord is
disconnected for a long period of time (2-3 months), the present time may not be
accurate. In this case, set the clock again.
After a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs during manual, timer, or alarm
recording, the VCR will return to the recording mode when the
power comes back on. The Power Failure symbol (X) will be
displayed for about 1 minute on screen and the Power Loss
indicator ( ) will illuminate on the fluorescent display when the
power comes back on. If a power failure occurs while the VCR’s
power is on, the VCR will turn on by itself when the power
comes back on.
