to [VCR].
This function allows you to automatically record a program
which is timer-programmed on your NTSC device.
Preparation: Connect a NTSC device to the [AUDIO/
VIDEO IN] or [S VIDEO IN (L-1)] connectors* on the rear;
otherwise, you cannot use this function.
* To use these connectors, you have to select which one to use
( ੬ page 38).

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.
