Recording (cont.)
Important:
_Important:
If you use the POWER
button
on the front panel
for this purpose,
you will have to press it twice. Pressing
it once turns
off the
programmed
recording
light; pressing
it a second time turns
the
VCR on.
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 c]ieared
(unless
you have scheduled
tlt_e 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 m_!:nus for programming
to record (unless
you are prol_amming
with QUICK
PROGRAM).
If the VCR's memory
is full, you must era_.e _ 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 pres_; the REC button.
The
VCR will resume
recording.
Do not overlap
the recording
times
you program.
Remember
that when your VCR is off, it may also be in stand-by
for programmed
recording.
Also remember
tlhat the VCR, when
programmed,
will record over the next section
of tape. So, to avoid
recording
over tapes you want to save, reme tuber that the VCR
automatically
shuts
off during
OTR reeordirg
and auto power
saving.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure
preven-
tion tab removed
(see "Preventing
accidental
erasure").
AJl rental
movies have this tab removed,
so they are safe from being acci-
dentally
erased.
autospeedprogramming
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 programming
in this pro-
gramming
slot, you don't need to change
anything.
Make sure that
the "Tape" video function
matches
the kind of
tape you are using. (See "Selecting
and adjusting
the audio and
video functions"
