Timer recording

Timer recording can be programmed
on the TV-screen with the remote con-
trol. The built-in timer allows automatic
unattended recording of up to 8 pro-
grams within 1 month.

Notes:

• In the event of a power failure, the data

of the automatic recording will be main-
tained in the built-in memory for about
30 minutes. Also, the clock will continue
to run for this period of time. Thereafter
the data will be deleted. When the
power resumes, the time display will
change to “--:--” and the timer setting
will have to be set.

• Not all TV Stations transmit PDC signal

all of the time, therefore it is advisable
to check before setting PDC to ON, if
you do set PDC to ON and no signal is
received your recording might not take
place at all. To check PDC status,
change to the channel on your DVD/
VCR you wish to record from, if the
word "PDC" appears on the screen for
a few seconds then that channel is
broadcasting PDC and you can set the
feature to ON.

• Press 

VCR

 to select the VCR mode. (The VCR indicator will light.)

• Load a video cassette with the erase prevention tab intact. Make

sure with 

CALL

 that the time and date are correct.(see page 26).
