If [ – –] Appears under [Pos/Name] after
Entering a ShowView Number

Pos/Name stands for Programme Position/TV Station Name.
Normally, the name of the TV station or the number of the
programme position is displayed under [Pos/Name].
However, if the [ – –] indication appears, follow the operation
steps below.

Press the [Channel] button repeatedly to select the
programme position on which the TV programme to be

After you have entered the information of a TV station, it
remains stored in the VCR’s memory, and you do not need to
enter it again in the future.

Setting the Recording Date/Day(s)

Press the [DATE] button to select the recording date
(1 to 31), daily timer recording date (Su–Sa, Mo–Sa or
Mo–Fr) or weekly timer recording date (Su to Sa).

– Programming a timer recording (setting the date) is

possible up to one month ahead of the TV programme’s
broadcasting date and time. Daily and weekly timer
recordings will continue until you cancel them.

Auto SP/LP Change Function

If the VCR determines that the remaining tape time is
insufficient to record the whole programme, LP mode is
automatically selected to ensure that the programme will be
recorded as long as possible.

Press the [SP/LP/EP] button to select [A].

– This function cannot change the recording speed to the EP

mode.

– If the remaining tape time is still not sufficient even in the

LP mode, the programme cannot be recorded to its end.

– If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a

timer recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that
point.

VPS/PDC Function

If a TV programme, for example a football game runs longer
than scheduled, is shortened or starts earlier or later, this
function synchronises the recording start and stop with the
actual broadcasting start and stop of the TV programme.

Press the [Cursor] buttons

3421

to make the [ON]

indication appear.

– [ON] must be displayed under [VPS/PDC] on the TV

screen.

– The programme starting time must be set correctly to the

starting time listed in the newspaper/magazine.

Recording Programmings

recording programmings on the TV screen.
– When the VCR is in the timer recording standby mode

for a VPS/PDC recording, the On Screen Display may
be distorted.

to select the

programming that you want to change or cancel.

To change or cancel timer recording programmings, use
the [Cursor] buttons

, the [Channel], [DATE],

[ON], [OFF] or [CANCEL] button.

Press the [OK] button to conclude the setting.

Press the [EXIT] button to exit the On Screen Display.

Note:

In some cases, for example as listed below, the programming
of a timer recording remains stored in the memory until 4 a.m.
the next day. However, this is not a malfunction.
– When a timer recording was not performed up to the TV

programme’s ending time because the remaining tape time
was not sufficient.

– When you have stopped the timer recording while it was

being performed.

To Check the Total Timer Recording
Programming Time

The total time indication for timer
recording programming lets you check
how many programmes can be
recorded by comparing with the
remaining tape time in the VCR
display.
– The total time is calculated in the SP mode.
– The total time cannot be calculated when setting Daily/

Weekly timer recording.
