Notes
• The recorder starts recording only after detecting the

instructions.
• During Synchro-Rec standby, the Auto Clock Set
function does not work (page 102).
• After a recording has finished, the recorder enters the
Synchro-Rec standby mode until the SYNCHRO REC
indicator turns off.
• If Synchro-Rec starts with the recorder turned on, the
recorder will turn off when the recording ends.
• The recorder does not record programmes with Copy-
Never signals. Such recordings stop after a few
seconds.
