Timer Warning

If you have programmed your
recorder to timer-record a
programme or a series of
programmes, a warning appears on
screen to tell you that the record-
ing is to start in 5 minutes.
NOTES:
The warning only appears if
you're not in the Timer mode at that time.
If this recorder is being used as the player for tape dubbing,
the warning screen is recorded on the tape in the other video
recorder.
The warning blinks for the entire 5 minutes leading up to the
start of timer recording. To clear the display, press CANCEL.
Auto SP/LP Timer
(E439EG only)
If, when recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to
record the entire programme, the recorder automatically
switches to LP mode to allow complete recording.
1
NOTES:
The Auto SP/LP Timer feature is not available during ITR
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work
properly with any tapes longer than E-180 as well as some
tapes of shorter lenghs.
Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and it lights
"green", that doesn't mean that the recorder will automati-
cally change from SP to LP mode during the course of the
recording. Watch the tape later to confirm.
If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or
more programs, the second programme and those thereafter
may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer
mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then
set the tape speed manually during timer programming.
There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the
recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
If you perform timer recording with both PDC/VPS and the
– WARNING– Auto SP/LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond
TIMER RECORDING
its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the
TO START SOON
[CANCEL]
programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

PDC/VPS Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed
to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special
code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video
signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have
precedence over advertised times you preset in the timer. This
means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the
preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the
broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.
To Use PDC/VPS Service . . .
The default setting for PDC/VPS is "ON". To cancel PDC/VPS,
press NUMBER key "7" so that "OFF" is displayed on screen
during ShowView or regular timer programming.
NOTES:
When you manually enter programmes (regular timer
programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised
will result in no recording.
PDC/VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a
cable system is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.
