Notes about programmedrecording
If you want to use the VCR befi_re programmed recording begins,
press the POWER button on the remote once. This turns the
programmed recording light off and the VCR ,_n.
If you use the POWER button on the front pa:ael for this purpose,
you will have to press it twice. Pressing it once turns offthe
programmed recording light; pressing it a second time turns the
VCR on.
When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power off
again, either with the POWER. button on tile remote or the
POWER button on the 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 record the program every
day or every week).
If there is already a program in the VCR's memory, you will see
the "recap" screen when you bring up the menus for programming
to record (unless you are progl:amming with "_he QUICK PRO-
GRAM/VCR Plus+ button). If the VCR's memory is full, you nmst
erase a prograra before you can enter a new one.
If a tape runs out du:dng programmed recording, the VCR ejects
the tape and the programmed recording ligh_ and the tape status
symbol will flash. Load a new tape and pres_, the REC button. The
VCR will resume recording. Do not overlap the recording times
you program.
Remember that when your VCR is off, it may also be in st;and-by
for programmed recc.rding. Also remember that the VCR, when
programmed, will record over the next sectic,n of tape. So:, to ;avoid
recording over tapes you want to save, remember that the VCR
automatically shuts off during OTR recording and auto power
saving.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure preven-
tion tab removed (see "Preventing accidental erasure"). All rental
movies have this tab removed[, so they are safe from being acci-
dentally erased.
auto speedprogramming
Use auto speed programming if you want to record as much of the
program as possible in standard play (SP) s!_eed, but you want
the VCR to automatically switch to extended play (EP) if there is
not enough tape left.
Auto speed programming is only available i:a one programming
slot. In the first slot, the recording speed is automatically set to
AUTO. If you want to use auto speed programming in this pro-
gramming slo_, you don't need to change anything.
