Note:
In the cases, below, the programming of a timer recording remains stored in the memory until 4 a.m. the next day.
However, this is not a malfunction.
• When a timer recording was not completed because there was not enough tape left.
• When you have stopped the timer recording before it had finished.
To Check the Total Timer Recording Programming Time
The total time indication for timer recording programming lets you check how many programmes
can be recorded by comparing it with the remaining tape time in the VCR display.
• The total time is calculated in the SP mode.
• The total time cannot be calculated when setting Daily/Weekly timer recording.
24
Press the [DATE] button to select the recording date (1 to 31), daily timer
recording date (Su-Sa, Mo-Sa or Mo-Fr) or weekly timer recording date
(Su to Sa) in operation step 3 (see page 22) when programming a timer
recording with the On Screen Display, or in operation step 4 (see page 23)
when programming with the VIDEO Plus+ Code.
•
Programming a timer recording (setting the date) is possible up to one month
ahead of the TV programme's broadcasting date and time. Daily and weekly timer
recordings will continue until you cancel them.
Press the [SP/LP/EP] button to select [A] in operation step 6
(see page 22) when programming a timer recording with the On Screen
Display, or in operation step 4 (see page 23) when programming with
the VIDEO Plus+ Code.
•
This function cannot change the recording speed to the EP mode.
•
If the remaining tape time is still not sufficient even in the LP mode, the
programme cannot be recorded to its end.
•
If the recording speed changes from SP to LP during a timer recording, some
brief picture distortion will occur at that point.
Press the [Cursor] buttons (3421) to make the [ON] indication appear in
operation step 7 (see page 22) when programming a timer recording with
the On Screen Display, or in operation step 4 (see page 23) when
programming with the VIDEO Plus+ Code.
Conditions for correct operation of the PDC function:
•
[ON] must be displayed under [PDC] on the On Screen Display.
•
The TV station must broadcast PDC signals.
•
The programme starting time must be set correctly to the starting time listed in the
newspaper/magazine.
