Use the
O
key on the remote
control or on the video recorder
to switch on the unit.
The display on the video
recorder shows the last station
viewed.
If you press the
O
key again,
the video recorder switches to
standby.
The display on the video
recorder shows the time
(greyed out).
You can also set the video recorder so that it
switches to energy-saving standby (see Page
23). The display on the video recorder is then
switched off. The video recorder is still
connected to the mains, but power
consumption is reduced.
Five minutes after the last operation the video
recorder switches automatically to Standby in
Stop Mode if there is no menu open and if
”Autom. switch off” is set to ”Yes” (see Page
22).
If a Timer recording is programmed, it will not
switch off.
The video recorder also switches on if you
insert a cassette.
If a cassette has already been inserted into the
VCR, the video recorder also switches on when
you select one of the tape functions, play
,
fast forward
or rewind
.
VHS cassette
Insert the cassette into the
compartment. The video recorder
draws the cassette in.
Press the eject button. The
cassette is ejected. If a play
function is active the unit
switches to STOP first.
Press again to eject the cassette.
Record protection
You can protect your cassette against
inadvertent over-recording (deletion). On the
back of the cassette is a tab that can be broken
off. Break off the tab to reveal the security slot.
You cannot now record onto this cassette.
If you cover the slot with two layers of tape, you
can record onto the cassette again.
