Notesabout programmedrecording

You cannot use the VCR when the programmed recording light

(_) is lit. If you want. to use the VCR before programmed

recording begins, press the POWER button on the remote once.

This turns the programmed recording light off and the VCR on.

If you use the POWER button on the front panel for this purpose,

you will have to press it twice. Pressing it once turns off the

programmed recording light; pressing it a second time turns the

VCR on.

When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power oft

again, either with the POWER butt;on on the remote or the

POWER button on t17e front panel. Make sure the programmed

recording light is back on.

After a program has been recorded_ the VCR memory is cleared

(unless you have scheduled the VCR to recor_ the program every

day or every week).

If there is already a program inthe VCR's memory, you will see

the "recap" screen when you bring up the m_nus for programming

to record (unless you are programming with the QUICK

PROGRAM/VCR Plus+ button). If the VCR's memory is filll, you

must erase a program before you can enter _ new one.

If a tape runs out during programmed recording, the VCR ejects

the tape and the programmed recording li_ht ([_) and the tape

status symbol (::iiii,:_ii;:_ will flash. Load a new tape and press the

REC button. The VCR will resume recordings. Do not overlap the

recording times you program.

Remember that when your VCR is off, it ma_ also be in stand-by

for programmed recording. Also remember that the VCR, when

programmed, will record over' the next section of tape. So, to avoid

recording over tapes you want to save, remember that the VCR

automatically shuts off during OTR recording and "rewind & off."

Your VCR will not record over a tape that h;_s the erasure

prevention tab removed (see "preventing accidental erasure"). All

rental movies have this tab removed, so they are safe from being

accidentally erased.

Set the time for recording to end a minute or two beyond the

program's scheduled broadcast time.

Use auto speed pr%_amming if you want t(J record as much of the

program as possible in standard play (SP) speed, but you want

the VCR to automatically switch to extended play (EP) if there is

not enough tape lefi_.
