Connect your decoder to L2 (the blue socket
behind the VCR as shown in page 7). Then set the
VIDEO LINK mode in the menu to L2. To record
video and audio from TV select L1. See page 56.
For Video Link recording using satellite decoder,
set the timer programme on the satellite decoder
according to proper procedure of that decoder.
Insert a cassette with safety tab intact. Turn the
VCR to OPERATE off mode, then press and hold
the Video Link button on the VCR for more than 2
seconds. The Video Link indicator will lights on.
At the programmed start-time, the decoder will
activate your VCR to start recording. Subsequently,
the VIDEO LINK recording will automatically stop
if:
a) No signal received by the VCR for more than 1
second.
b) When tape ended, the tape will be ejected and
the VCR goes to OPERATE off mode.
Notes:
If the recording has already started, to interrupt or
to stop the recording, you can do one of the
following:
a) Press and hold VIDEO LINK button for more than
2 seconds.
b) Press the OPERATE button followed by STOP
button within 10 seconds.
To cancel the VIDEO LINK mode setting, you can
do one of the following:
a) Press the VIDEO LINK button for more than 2
seconds.
b) Eject the tape.
Note:
• During “VIDEO LINK” mode is set to L2 and if you turn on the satellite decoder, the VCR will start
recording.
• During “VIDEO LINK” mode is set to L1 and if you turn on the TV, the VCR will start recording.
• VIDEO LINK function will not operate when timer programme with PDC was stored.
• VIDEO LINK function will be cancelled when a timer programme with PDC is set.
“VIDEO LINK” function allows you to easily prepare the VCR to record signals from a satellite/cable
decoder or TV, without setting the timer programme. This avoids the necessity of doing timer
programming twice. (For the decoder and the VCR).
