Press SYSTEM MENU to turn off the menu.
There is no need to turn off the recorder before

Leave the cable box/satellite receiver turned
on and do not change the channel selected on
the cable box/satellite receiver until the
recorder finishes the timer recording.
To stop recording
Press x STOP twice.
If timer settings overlap
The program that starts first has priority and the
second program starts recording only after the first
program has finished. If the programs start at the
same time, the program listed first in the menu has
priority. If the end time of one setting and the start
time of another timer setting is the same, the
beginning of the program that starts later will be
cut.
To change or cancel timer recording
See “Changing or Canceling VCR Timer Settings
(Timer List)” on page 81.
To use the Rec Mode Adjust function
If the remaining tape length is too short for the
current recording, the VCR automatically changes
the recording mode from SP to EP.
When setting the timer, select “AUTO” in
“Mode,” and check that the “Tape Length” setting
is correct for the inserted tape (“VCR Function” -
“Tape Length” of “Features” in the “Setup”
display (page 101)).

Hints
• When the start time and the channel or input source to
be recorded are the same but the “Media” setting
differs, the program is recorded to both the DVD disc
and the VHS tape.

from the System Menu. Press SYSTEM MENU to
select “Timer,” and select “Timer-Standard.”
Notes
• Even when correctly set, the program may not be
recorded if another recording is underway, or other
prioritized timer setting overlaps.
• You cannot record on a tape with its safety tab
removed.
• Before the timer recording starts, “TIMER REC”
flashes in the front panel display.
• The recorder automatically turns off when a timer
recording finishes, even if the recording started with
the recorder turned on.
