Direct Rec
“What You See Is What You Record”
You can easily record to VCR the images
that you are watching on the TV.
For details, read the manual for your VCR.
Use your VCR controls. “DEVICE IS
RECORDING” is displayed.
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your
TV’s control.
Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV
channel that it cannot receive properly on its
own tuner, even if you can view that TV
channel on the TV. However, some VCRs
can record a TV channel by using the TV’s
output if that channel can be viewed on the
TV. For details, see your VCR instruction
manual.
Do not turn the TV off in the following
cases.
• when recording images from an external
device connected to the TV (for example
a camcorder)
• when recording a TV channel after it has
been unscrambled on a decoder
• when recording a TV channel by using the
TV’s output because the VCR’s own
tuner cannot properly receive that
channel.
• when recording Digital terrestrial
broadcasting (DVB-T).
If you change channels or perform
other operations while a Digital
terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T)
channel is being recorded, a window
appears asking whether to stop the
recording.
Press the
a
button to stop the
recording, or the
TV/DTV
button to
continue the recording.
