TIMER RECORDING BY USING THE DIGITAL SCANNER

Example: When programming a timer recording for a

programme that will be broadcast on channel
position 4 on the 3rd of the month, from 7:02 to

7:35, trace the bar codes in the order of the

numbered arrows shown below.

O Trace the bar code for "CHANNEL".

•When setting to a minute between 1 and 29, trace the

appropriate "+MtN" bar cpde after tracing the ®
bar code.

•When setting to a minute between 31 and 59, trace

the appropriate ‘'+MIN" bar code after tracing the

bar code.

Setting the Time in 30-minute Steps

•Trace the appropriate bar code in the 30-minute-step

column only.

•The "Bee Bee Bee Bee Beeeeep" sound signals

that the scanner is now ready for data transmission.

•When a timer bar code with ® or @ minutes is

traced for the end time, the "Bee Bee Bee Bee
Beeeeep” sound which indicates reading comple
tion is heard. When subsequently tracing a "+MIN”
bar code after tracing or 0 to choose another

minute setting, the reading completion sound will be
heard again.

•When no sound is heard, read the bar codes once

again.

•If more than one bar code is read in the same group,

only the last code will be effective.

•The bar codes for the time from “0:00" (midnight) to

“4:59" in the morning are on the back of the
Programming Sheet.

•If the "CANCEL" bar code is read, all bar codes that

have been read so far will be cancelled.
