• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the
counting cycles of the two video systems.
• When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time
may not be correct.
• The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.
• About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be
displayed.
• The station name* may not appear if the VCR does not receive station name
information signals.

Recording what you are watching on the TV (TV Direct
Rec)
(not available on SLV-SE610G)
If you use the SMARTLINK connection, you can easily record what you are
watching on the TV (other than tapes being played on the VCR).
Tips
• The TV indicator appears in the display window after you press
z
REC in some
situations such as:
– when you are watching a source connected to the TV’s line input, or
– when the TV tuner preset data for the programme position is different from the
data in the VCR tuner preset.
• If there is a tape with its safety tab in place in the VCR, the VCR automatically
turns on and starts recording what you are watching on the TV when you press
z
REC.
• You can turn the TV Direct Rec function ON and OFF in the OPTIONS-2 menu
Notes
• You cannot record what you are watching using this method when the VCR is in
the following modes; pause, timer standby, tuner preset, Auto Set Up, and
recording.
• When the TV indicator is lit in the display window, do not turn off the TV nor
change the TV programme position. When the TV indicator is not lit, the VCR
continues recording the programme even if you change the TV programme
position on the TV.
