Second Audio Recording
This VCR's built-in MTS decoder enables reception of
Multichannel TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program
received, set "2ND AUDIO RECORD" to "ON".
Timer Recording
Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using VCR Plus+
timer programing, Express timer programing or 24HR Quick
Programming method as far as a year in advance. Remember, the
clock must be set before you can program the timer.
NOTES:
If all the 8 programs have already been set, "PROGRAM FULL"
or "Full" appears on the TV screen or the display panel.
After timer recording is completed, the VCR turns off
automatically.
You can program the timer recording while a regular recording
is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded.
To timer-record cable or satellite channels, perform "Cable Box
and/or DBS Receiver Control Setting" and be sure to keep the
cable box or DBS receiver turned on.
Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer
programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other
menu settings are lost. As a result, when the power is supplied
again to this VCR after the power failure, this VCR starts the
Plug&Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and
channel setting. If the clock time and channel setting are
restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start
at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.
Changing VCR Plus+
The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide
channel to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide
channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes.
Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the
guide channel numbers assigned to each station.
To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is
necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel Set" for each
station.
If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station's
channel number has been changed, perform the following steps to
set the correct guide channel number.
