Timer Recording Hints
To use the VCR before timer recording begins, press POWER on
the remote once. This turns the programmed recording light off
and the VCR on. If you use POWER on the front panel for this
purpose, press it twice. Pressing it once turns off the programmed
recording light; pressing it again turns the VCR on.
When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power off
again. Make sure the programmed recording light is back on.
After a program has been recorded, the VCR memory of that
program is cleared (unless you have scheduled the VCR to record
the program every day or every week).
If there is already a program in the VCR’s memory, you will see the
Recap screen when you bring up the menus for programming to
record (unless you are programming with the QUICK PROGRAM/
VCR Plus+). If the VCR’s memory is full, Program memory is full
will appear on the screen. If so, you must erase a program before
you can enter a new one.
If a tape runs out during timer recording, the VCR ejects the tape
and the programmed recording light will flash. Load a new tape
and press REC. Recording will resume.
If you forget to load a tape, the programmed recording light will
flash when you turn the VCR power off. (A tape without an erasure
tab will be ejected. To correct this, load a tape with its erasure tab
intact, and turn off the VCR.)
Do not overlap the recording times you enter into the VCR. If you
set two programmed recording times overlap, VCR is already
programmed for that time will appear on your screen.
Remember that the VCR will record over the next section of tape.
If you want to save a tape, remove it and instead use a different
tape for a new recording.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure
prevention tab removed. All rental movies have this tab removed,
so they are safe from being accidentally erased.
