timer recording

Timer recordings allow you to program your VCR to switch on and record a programme at a preset time.
Make sure your VCR is properly installed, all the channels are tuned in, and the correct time and date are set
before making a timer recording (see pages 8-9).

Note:

Your VCR's timer

allows up to 8 recordings
to be set up to one month
in advance.

Menus will only stay on-
screen for approximately
one minute after the last
button press. Be sure to
press another button
within one minute to
prevent the menus from
clearing from the screen.

recording, press the

At the set time your VCR
will switch on and record
your programme then
return to timer record
mode. When all
programmes have
finished recording, your
VCR will return to
standby mode.

Tape speed:

Your VCR

can record in Standard
Play (SP) mode, or Long
Play (LP) mode. When
you record in SP, a 3-hour
tape will be able to record
up to 3 hours of
programmes. When you
record in LP, a 3-hour
tape will be able to record
up to 6 hours of
programmes.
