Timer Recording
The information
on this page tells you how to set up
your
VCR
for
Timer
Recording
after
you
have
programmed
the timer. (The programming
instructions
are
on
pages
24-25.)
When
you
have
finished
programming
the timer, follow the steps in the drawing
to prepare
for timer recording.
We suggest that you
make one or more short timer recordings for practice so
you won't be disappointed
later on.
If you have a Daily or Weekly program
in the VCR
timer,
you
should
check
the steps
in the drawing
sometime before the recording time to be sure that your
VCR is ready to record.

Checklist
Before your VCR timer can record a TV broadcast,
all
the conditions
listed here must be fulfilled. They are
presented
as a checklist
you can use until you are
familiar with your VCR.
[] Cassette inserted in the VCR. (TIMER flashes if not.)
[] Cassette
has its safety
tab in place. (If not, the
cassette is ejected.) (See "Erase Protection"
on page
9.)
[] Cassette length and recording speed are adequate for
program(s)
to be recorded.
[] Cassette rewound to beginning or to place desired on
tape.
[] Clock set to correct time and date.
[] Timer
has been
programmed.
("PROG"
will be
displayed.)
[] POWER
has been turned
off. "TIMER"
appears
only if the timer is programmed
and the VCR is off.
Programming
Reminders
• The timer light will flash when you turn off the VCR
if you have programmed
the timer but forgotten to
insert a cassette.
• If the cassette, in the VCR has its safety tab removed
(page
9), the VCR
will eject it after
you
have
programmed
the timer and turned off the VCR. This
is to remind you to insert a new cassette or cover the
safety tab.
XPR and Timer
The timer cannot begin recording
if the VCR is already
recording
with XPR, and vice versa. You can use XPR
along with Timer
Recording,
but be careful that the
XPR recording
will end before the first timer recording
begins.
TV
Viewing During
a Timer
Recording
When the VCR turns on automatically to make a timer
recording, it does not disturb whatever program
you
may be watching at the time. Press the VCR/TV switch
to turn on the VCR light if you want to monitor the
recording.
Stopping
a Timer
Recording
in Progress
Press POWER and then press STOP within 10 seconds.
(Press POWER
once more to turn off the VCR). This
erases a Normal program from the timer's memory, but
a Daily or Weekly program
will record on the next
scheduled day.
Timer
Recording
From
the Line
Input
It is also possible to timer record from the VCR's Line
input.
Just
enter
"91"
for
the channel.
This
is
particularly
convenient if you have a satellite receiver or
similar device attached to the VCR's Line input.
