Recording TV programmes
Notes
• The
AFFICH information does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-
motion playback.
• The
AFFICH information will not appear while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL (SECAM, MESECAM) 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.
* not available on SLV-SE610B

turns on and starts recording what you are watching on the TV when you press
