Timer Recording - RCA TruFlat 27F500TDV User Manual

Timer recording

Timer recording can be programmed
on-screen with the remote control.
The built-in timer allows automatic
unattended recording of up to 8
programs within 1 month.
NOTES:
If the T.REC indicator blinks when the
•
timer recording ended, the TV program
has not been completely recorded
because of an insufficient tape supply.
Press TIMER REC to cancel the timer
program or press EJECT to remove
the cassette tape.
During timer recording standby mode,
•
the VCR operation cannot be used. To
use the VCR operation, press TIMER
REC to deactivate the timer. After you
use the VCR, press TIMER REC again
to put the VCR into timer recording
standby mode.
If you press TIMER REC during timer
•
recording, the recording operation will
be interrupted. If you press TIMER
REC again within the programmed time,
the recording operation will start again.
After a power failure or disconnection
•
of the power plug, all programmed
recording settings and time display
will be lost upon resumption of power.
In this case, reset the clock (see pages
16-18) and reprogram any timer
recordings.
