To record satellite broadcasts
If you connect the satellite tuner and the VCR, you can record satellite
programmes.
1
Turn on the satellite tuner.
2
On the satellite tuner, select the satellite programme for which you
want to make a timer setting.
3
Keep the satellite tuner turned on until the VCR finishes recording the
satellite programme for which you have made a timer setting.
To use the VCR after setting the timer
To use the VCR before a timer recording begins, just press ON/STANDBY.
The
indicator turns off and the VCR switches on. Remember to press
ON/STANDBY to reset the VCR after using the VCR.
You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:
• Reset the counter.
• Display tape information on the TV screen.
• Check the timer settings.
• Watch another TV programme.
Tips
• To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/LP button.
• When you are recording a progamme in the SP mode and the remaining tape
becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to
the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the
tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO TAPE
SPEED to OFF in the TAPE OPTIONS menu (page 39).
Note
• If the PlusCode is incorrect, the VIDEO Plus+ menu appears instead of the TIMER
menu after pressing SET.
