Recording (cont.)

_Important:
_Important:
When you are finished
using the VCR, turn the VCR power off
again, either
with the POWER
button
on the remote
or the
POWER
button
on the front panel. Make sure the programmed
recording
light is back on.
After a program
has been recorded,
the VCR memory
is cleared
(unless
you have scheduled
the VCR to record the program
every
day or every week)
If there is already
a program
in the VCR's memory,
you will see
the "recap" screen when you bring up the _aenus for programming
to record
(unless
you are programming
with the QUICK
PRO-
GRAM/VCR
Plus+ button).
If the VCR's memory
is full, you must
erase
a program
before you can enter a new one.
If a tape runs out during
programmed
recording,
the VCR ejects
the tape and the programmed
recording
light and the tape status
symbol will flash. Load a new tape and press the REC button.
The
VCR will resume
recording.
Do not ow_rlap the recording
times
you program.
Remember
that when your VCR is off, it may also be in stand-by
for programmed
recording.
Also remember
that the VCR, when
programmed,
will record over the next section
of tape. So, to avoid
recording
over tapes you want to save, remember
that
the VCR
automatically
shuts
off during
OTR recording
and auto power
saving.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure
preven-
tion tab removed
(see "Preventing
accidental
erasure")..All
rental
movies have this tab removed,
so they are _;afe from being acci-
dentally
erased.
auto speedprogramming
Use auto speed programming
if you want to record as much of the
program
as possible
in standard
play (SP) speed, but you want
the VCR to automatically
switch to extended
play (EP) if there is
not enough
tape left.
Auto speed programming
is only available
in one programming
slot. In the first slot, the recording
speed is automatically
set to
AUTO. If you want to use auto speed pro_.amming
in this pro-
gramming
slot, you don't need to change
arything.
Make sure that the "Tape" video function
matches
the kind of
tape you are using. (See "Selecting
and adjusting
the audio and
video functions"
on page 35.)
Set the time for recording
to end a minute
or two beyond the
program's
scheduled
broadcast
time.
While using auto speed programming,
the picture
may vibrate or
the sound may be muted
when the recording
speed switches
to
extended
play (EP).
