When setting the EXT TIMER, ensure that the VTR
is in waiting the TIME MODE showing in the
display.
Set the TIMER MODE (REC MODE) switch to EXT
TIMER so that EXT lights on the display. At the set
time, power is supplied from the external timer and
the unit is set to the recording mode.
If the video cassette tape has not been inserted or if its accidental erasure prevention tab has been broken,
EXT will flash on the display, and external timer recording cannot be conducted.
Since it takes some moments for recording to start, set the start time for timer recording one minute earlier.

Notes of operation
• When auto repeat recording is to be performed, do not neglect the routine inspections. Since the image
deteriorates when the same tape is used over and over again for auto repeat recording, replace the tape with a
new one. For the general guideline as to when the tape should be replaced, refer to page 12.
• Alarm signals are not accepted during auto rewinding, and so alarm recording is not performed.
• If an alarm signal is supplied during auto repeat recording, the alarm recording mode is established. If the tape
then reaches its end, auto repeat recording is performed but alarm recording is released.
