EXAMPLE
If you program the VCR to timer
record a show on December 24
on channel 100 from 12:00
noon to 1:00 PM in SP mode,
the screen will look like this:
"DBS" will be displayed only
when you are using a DBS
receiver.
NOTES:
To disengage the timer before recording starts, press TIMER
again. Pressing once more re-engages it.
In case of a power failure after programming, the VCR's memory
backup keeps your selections for approximately 20 hours.
If you select "PROGRAM SET" without having set the date and
time, an error message appears. Follow its instructions.
If you enter a start time that has already passed, "ERROR"
appears on the screen and flashes.
Programs that start after midnight must have the next day's date.
After timer recording is completed, the VCR's power goes off
automatically.
You can program the timer while a regular recording is in
progress; the on-screen menu will not be recorded.
If the end of tape is reached during timer recording, the
cassette is automatically ejected.
When timer-recording cable or satellite channels through an
external tuner, be sure to keep the cable box or satellite
receiver's power ON.
