Recording A TV Program

L RECORDING SPEEDS
Your VCR enables you to select recording tape speed (SP, EP). Although recording time is shorter, SP provides a better picture.
Select the tape speed that best suits your needs.
The table below shows the recording speed and recording time for the three most popular cassettes.
CASSETTE
T-60
T-120
T-160
During Playback mode, the VCR automatically senses the recording speed of the video cassette and plays it back correctly.
L CASSETTE ERASE PROTECTION
A cassette has a removable tab to prevent accidental erasure of recorded material. Removing the tab prevents recording. To
record on a video cassette with the tab removed, place adhesive tape over the tab opening.
Note:
• A small mechanical noise may be heard after a cassette is inserted into the VCR and no tape operation button is pressed. This is
normal. The unit is ready to immediately start recording when the REC button is pressed. If no key is pressed within 5 minutes, the
VCR will return to the normal standby mode and the mechanical noise will stop.

PROCEDURE
OPERATION
1 Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL
UP/DOWN buttons or the CHANNEL SELECT
buttons (0~9, 100) on the Remote Control.
2 Make sure the erasure protection tab is intact;
then insert the cassette. Press the TAPE
SPEED button on the Remote Control to set
the recording speed (SP or EP).
3 Press the REC button. (If the erasure protection
tab is removed, the cassette will be ejected.)
• To pause recording, press the PAUSE/STILL button on the Remote Control. To resume recording, press the PAUSE/STILL button
again. (Pause disengages automatically after about 5 minutes to avoid damage to the tape and the VCR, and Stop mode is
engaged.)
Note:
• "PAUSE" will appear on the TV screen if the PAUSE/STILL button is pressed in Stop mode. When it appears, press the STOP button
to disengage the Pause mode or press the REC button to enter the REC-PAUSE mode.
L TAPE COUNTER
The tape counter of your TV/VCR set is a real time counter. It shows the elapsed time during Recording or Playback mode. It is
useful for indexing segments on the tape for future reference. The tape counter can be displayed on the TV screen by pressing the
DISPLAY button. To reset the tape counter, press the COUNTER RESET button.
Note:
• The tape counter number does not change when playing back an unrecorded portion of a tape. If the counter number stops during
fast forward or rewind, that portion of the tape is unrecorded.
