The TIMER lamp on the front of the set lights up
when one or more of the TIMER blocks are occupied.
General programming notes
• During a TIMER recording you cannot switch to
another TV channel.
• The programmed recording will always be made
at the recording speed (SP/LP) that has already
been selected on the TV Combi.
• TIMER recording will only function when the set
is switched to standby with the STANDBY m
button. If the set is switched on before a
programmed recording is due to take place, the
TIMER lamp will flash before the start.
• Attention: If you have switched off with the pow-
er switch 8 , the TIMER record function
cannot operate.
• If the end of the cassette is reached during a
programmed recording, the set automatically
ejects the cassette.
• Programme number 'E1' is provided for record-
ing from external sources (via the EXTERNAL
scart socket).
• If you have forgotten to load a cassette, the
warning 'NO CASSETTE' will appear.
• If, when you want to make a recording, you have
accidentally loaded a cassette with erase protec-
tion, the cassette will be automatically ejected.
• When you make a new recording on a video
cassette, it will automatically record over and
delete any recordings already on the cassette.
How do I record from a satellite
tuner?
You can also programme recordings from an exter-
nal satellite tuner.
1 Connect the tuner to the EXTERNAL socket.
Make sure that the tuner is switched on and that
the correct SAT channel has been selected.
2 Use one of the available programming methods
to programme a TIMER block. Use programme
number 'E1' in the programming procedure for
this external recording source.
Note:
* If you use 'VIDEOPlus+ programming' for such
an 'external' satellite TV programme, the TV
Combi automatically selects 'E1'.
