To use the Auto Tape Speed function
When you are recording a program in the Auto
mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter than
the recording time, the tape speed is automatically
changed to EP mode. Note that some noise will
appear on the picture when the tape speed is
changed. If you want to keep the tape speed, select
“SP.” To operate this function, set “VCR
Function” – “Tape Length” of “Features” in the
“Setup” display correctly (page 104).
z Hints
• When the start time and the channel or input source to
be recorded are the same but the “RecTo” setting
differs, the program is recorded to both the DVD disc
and the VHS tape.
• You can also display the Timer programming menu as
follows:
1 Press SYSTEM MENU.
The System Menu appears.
2 Select “Timer,” and press ENTER.
3 Select “Timer – Standard,” and press ENTER.
Notes
• To record a cable or satellite program, turn on the cable
box or satellite receiver and select the program you
want to record. Leave the cable box or satellite receiver
turned on until the recorder finishes recording.
• Even if the timer is set, timer recordings cannot be
made while recording a program that has priority.
• You cannot record on a tape with its safety tab
removed.
• Before the timer recording starts, “TIMER REC”
flashes in the front panel display.
Recording TV programs using the
VCR Plus+ system
The VCR Plus+ system is a feature that simplifies
setting the timer. Just enter the PlusCode number
listed in the TV program guide. The date, time,
and channel of that program are set automatically.
Before you start, check that the TV and guide
channels are correctly set in “Guide Channel
Setup” of “Tuner Preset” in the “Setup” display
(page 98).
