VCR Recording
Before Recording
Before you start recording…
• This VCR records in VHS format, not S-VHS
format.
• Check that the tape is longer than the recording
time (page 72).
• Check that the recorder is connected to a tuner
such as a cable box or satellite receiver
(page 12). See also the tuner’s instruction
manual.
Notes
• Timer recordings will start with or without the recorder
turned on. Once started, the recorder cannot be turned
off. The recorder automatically turns off after a
recording has finished.
• This recorder has the copy guard function. Programs
that contain a Copy-Never copy guard signal cannot be
correctly recorded on the VCR.
To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the safety
tab as illustrated. To record on the tape again,
cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
Recording mode
“EP” (Extended Play) and “SP” (Standard Play) is
available for recording mode (tape speed). “EP”
provides recording time three times as long as
“SP.” However, “SP” produces better picture and
audio quality.
Maximum recording time
Notes
• Tapes recorded in EP (×3) mode by this VCR cannot be
played back on VHS video decks with SP mode only.
• Noise may appear in the image when tapes recorded in
EP (×3) mode by this VCR are played back on other
VHS video decks with EP mode.
