JUST REC. function
During a timer recording, the VCR will
automatically
calculate the remaining tape
duration and, if necessary, will switch the
recording speed from SP (standard play) to
LP (long play), so the programme
can be
recorded entirely, without reaching the end of
the tape before recording is completed.

Note on sky decoders and
recording
There are at present two types
of sky decoders available
in
New Zealand.
1. Basa Band Decoder (no remote
control supplied,
older type).
You cannot successfully record
G-Code programmed using this
type of decoder. (Unless your
video is modified internally first.)
Contact Sky TV for details.
2. IRD Decoder (supplied with Sky
Remote and with
UHF output).
This decoder allows you to
programme recordings using the
G-Code function. You can use the
Sky CODE NUMBERS to record
Sky TV programmed with your
VCR. However, please note the
following limitations.
[a)The Sky CODE NUMBERS used
with the VCR can not change the
channels on the Sky Decoder.
This means you must first
preselect the Sky channel you
want to record (movies, sport,
news)
[b)TheVCRwill thenturn on and
recordthe programmeposition
whichhasbeensetfor Sky.(e.g.
programmeposition"6"),
The Sky channel you record
(movies, sport, news) will depend
on which channel the decoder was
left on,
[c) Remember the first time you use a
Sky CODE NUMBER, the
programme position number
("PR")
on the video needs to be
set the same for all three Sky
channels.
This will depend on the programme
position number you allocated for
Sky in the setup. ie programme
position number "6".
