Setting the Timer
to Record Later
▲
If the timer is correctly programed,
TIMER
will be lighted on the
Front Panel Display.
If
TIMER
is flashing on the Front Panel Display, there is an error. The On-Screen
Display (OSD) will display
TIMER RECORD ERROR
, and
DECK 1
(or
DECK
2
)
: TAPE MISSING
or
TAPE MISSING TAB
. Check that there is a tape in the
proper deck, and that the record safety tab is intact on the tape.
Your Dual-Deck VCR can be turned off once steps
❶
through
⑦
(on pages 21 -
22) are completed. Your Dual-Deck VCR will automatically turn on when the
event begins and will automatically turn off when the event is complete.
If you have a cable converter connected to the
In From Cable
connector on your
Dual-Deck VCR, as shown on page 39, you will need to make sure the converter is
left ON and set to the proper channel for your
Timer Recording
.
Press
Stop
to stop an event that is in progress. The recording will stop and the
timer settings will be cleared if the event was a Normal event. Daily, Everyday and
Weekly events will be updated automatically for the next date that was
programmed.
If an event is not able to start properly, due to an error or because there is a tape
playing in that deck, the event will be held. The OSD
will display
HOLDING
EVENT
and the event number until either the event is over or the problem is
corrected. Any events that are held will stop at their original time.
An asterisk (
✱
) next to an event number in the
Timer Recording Summary
indicates the event is currently recording or holding.

Priorities
With the ability to store settings for up to 8 events, your Dual-Deck VCR must
prioritize the events. If two events require different channels, or the same deck at
the same time, priority is given in the following order:
Latest starting time - An event in progress will be interrupted by an
event with a later starting time.
Highest event number - If starting times are the same, event 2 has
higher priority than event 1, event 3 has priority over 2 or 1, etc.
