? / 1 to reset the VCR to the timer recording standby mode after using the VCR.

• Check the timer settings (page 76).
• Watch another TV program (page 60).
Tips
• To check, change or cancel the program setting, see "Checking/changing/canceling timer
settings" (page 76).
• When you are recording a program in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter
than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the EP mode. Note that
some noise will appear on the picture when the tape speed is changed. If you want to keep
the tape speed, set AUTO TAPE SPEED to OFF in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu (page
88).
Notes
• If the VCR does not accept the PlusCode number, this means that:
– The PlusCode number is incorrect.
– ONCE, DAILY, or WEEKLY was selected incorrectly. You cannot select DAILY or
WEEKLY for a program that airs more than seven days ahead.
• The station ID appears on the TV screen only when you complete Smart Channel Mapping
and the VCR receives the program information signal (see page 49).
