OPERATION
TAPE RECORDING
CAUTION: Recording over existing recorded mate-
rial will completely erase that material. To prevent
accidental recording over the end of a previous
recording, advance the tape several seconds
before beginning the next recording.
Note: The VCR detects whether
has been inserted automatically and records in the
or
mode.
1. Insert a video cassette; be sure the cassette
safety tab is intact, or the tab slot is covered.
2. Press the REC/PLAY HOURS button until the
desired tape speed is observed on the tape
speed indicator.
3. Press the RECORD button to start recording.
4. Press the STOP button to stop recording.

This VCR offers three special recording functions,
ONE SHOT recording, TIMER recording and
ALARM recording.
REC CHECK
This function allows you to check whether the pic-
tures are being recorded normally or not during
recording.
When the PLAY button is pressed during record-
ing, the recorded picture is played in the still mode
for several seconds. After the still picture appears
on the monitor twice, recording will continue.
AUTO REC CHECK
If tape reaches the end during recording, this func-
tion allows the VCR to automatically rewind the
tape and play it back for several seconds. If AUTO
REC CHECK detects from playback that the tape
has been normally recorded, the VCR will rewind
the tape to its start. If AUTO REC CHECK detects
that the tape has not been normally recorded,
"REC CHECK" will appear at the top left of the
monitor screen.
Note: If "AUTO REC CHECK: ON" is specified in
SELECTION MENU 2, the buzzer will keep sound-
ing when tape has not been normally recorded.

and then enters the STOP mode.
