To watch another TV program while recording
1
Press TV/VIDEO to turn off the VIDEO indicator in the display
window.
2
If the TV is connected to the VCR using an audio/video cable, set the
TV to TV input. If the TV is connected to the VCR using only the
antenna cable, skip this step.
3
Select another channel on the TV.
To save a recording
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the
safety tab as illustrated. To record on the tape
again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
Tips
• To select a channel, you can use the number buttons on the remote commander.
Enter the channel number, then press ENTER.
• You can select a video source from the LINE-1 IN or LINE-2 IN (SLV-EX90S AR/
EX80S AR only) jacks using the INPUT SELECT or CH +/– buttons.
• The display appears on the TV screen indicating information about the tape, but the
information won’t be recorded on the tape.
• If you don’t want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV. When using
a cable box, make sure to leave it on.
• You can have the VCR stop recording automatically after starting at a specified
time. For details, see “Setting the recording duration time” on page 47.
Notes
• The display doesn’t appear during still (pause) mode or slow-motion playback.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL-N 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 color systems.
• When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time
may not be correct.
• It may take up to one minute for the VCR to calculate and display the remaining
tape length after you press DISPLAY.
