ATTENTION:
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,
switch the power off and unplug the power cord. Then plug it in again and switch power on. Take out the cassette. After
checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.
RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by
the new recording. Why does this happen?
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and
resume points.
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause
mode?
A. No. The VCR shuts off automatically after 5 minutes
to protect the heads.
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.
TIMER RECORDING
Q. REC and TIMER remain lit on the front display panel.
Is there a problem?
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in
progress.
Q. Can I program the timer while I'm watching a tape
or a TV broadcast?
A. You won't see the picture as it is replaced by the on-
screen menu, but the audio from the program or tape
you're viewing is present.
