Using the VCR before timer recording begins
Press u (on/standby). The TIMER indicator on the VCR goes off and
the VCR is ready for use.
After using the VCR, press
u (on/standby) again to turn on the TIMER
indicator on the VCR. Remember to reset the VCR to stand by for
recording before the time you’ve set the VCR to start recording, or the
timer setting will be cancelled.
When the timer settings overlap
The VCR will not record overlapping programs. If any of your timer
settings overlap, change the settings.
Case 1: If you preset two programs to start recording at the same
time...
The program listed first in the TIMER SET/CHECK menu has
priority over the other programs. The timer settings of lower
priority programs will be erased from the list when the first
program begins recording.
Case 2: If you preset program 2 to start recording at the same time
you preset program 1 to finish recording...
The last 20 seconds of program 1 will not be recorded because
the VCR will enter recording pause for program 2 before
program 1 is finished.
Case 3: If you preset program 2 to start recording before program 1
is finished recording...
Program 2 will start recording before program 1 has finished.
