Timer Recording
The informaiion on ihis page tells you how to set up
your VCR for Timer Recording after you have
programmed the timer. (The programming instructions
are on pages 22-23.) When you have finished
programming the timer, follow the steps in the drawing
to prepare for timer recording. We suggest that you
make one or more short timer recordings for practice.
If you have a Daily or W'eekly program in the VCR
timer, you should check the steps in the drawing
sometime before the recording time to be sure that your
VCR is ready to record.
Timer Recording Checklist
Before your VCR timer can record a T\' broadcast, all
the conditions listed below must be fulfilled. They are
presented as a checklist you can use until you are
familiar with vour \'CR.
□ Cassette inserted in the VCR. (ITIMERj flashes if
not.)
□ Cassette has its safety tab in place. (If not, the
cassette is ejected.) (See “Erase Protection” on
page 26.)
O Cassette length and recording speed are adequate for
program(s) to be recorded.
□ Cassette rewound to beginning or to place desired on
tape.
□ Clock set to correct time and date.
□ Timer has been programmed. (1 PROG I will be
displayed.)
□ POWER has been turned off. ITIMER | appears only if
the timer is programmed and the VCR is off.
XPR and Timer
The timer cannot begin, recording if the VCR is already
recording w'ith XPR, and vice versa. You can use XPR
along with Timer Recording, but be careful that the
XPR recording w'ill end before the first timer recording
begins.
TN' Viewing During a Timer Recording
When the VCR turns on automatically to make a timer
recording, it does not disturb whatever program you
may be watching at the time. Press the TV VCR button
on the remote control to turn on the IVCR[ indicator if
you want to monitor the recording.
Stopping a Timer Recording in Progress
Press POWER and then press STOP within 10 seconds.
(Press POWER once more to turn off the VCR). This
erases a Normal program from the timer’s memory, but
a Daily or Weekly program will record on the next
scheduled day.
Programming Reminders
• The jTlMERI indicator will flash when you turn off
the VCR if you have programmed the timer but
forgotten to insert a cassette.
• If the cas.sette in the \'CR has its safety tab removed,
the VCR will eject the cassette after you have
programmed the timer and turned off the VCR. This
is to remind you to insert a new cassette or cover the
safety tab. Details are on page 26.
Timer Recording From the Line Input
h is also possible to timer record from the VCR’s line
input (audio/video inputs). Just enter “91” for the
channel. This is convenient if you have a satellite
receiver or similar device attached to the A ODIO!
VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the VCR. The ILINEI
indicator will light in the VCR’s display panel and
“VIDEO” will appear instead of the channel number in
the TV’s on-screen display.
