NOTES:
If you turn off this VCR while Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.
Video Calibration (
page 36) does not work while Auto Recording is in progress.
The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the
program when Auto Recording method is used.
If you engage the Auto Recording standby mode while the NTSC device is turned on, the VCR will not start Auto Recording, and [L-1]
and [ ‰ ] blink on the front display panel. When you turn off the NTSC device, [L-1] and [ ‰ ] light up and the VCR enters the Auto
Recording standby mode.
If you have connected another component other than a NTSC device to the [AUDIO/VIDEO IN] or [S VIDEO IN (L-1)] connectors, be
sure not to engage the Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected component is
turned on.
If the [L-1] blinks quickly on the front display panel in the Auto Recording standby mode (even though your NTSC device is turned off),
Auto Recording will not work properly.
