PARTICULAR FUNCTIONS AND
EXTRAS
9
Apart from the functions that have already been described, your
video recorder has other special functions and extras designed
to make operating the video recorder as convenient as possible.
In the following chapter we will tell you more about them.
Your video recorder as an extension of your TV set
(Tuner-mode)
You may also use your video recorder for the reception of TV
channels (Tuner). This is practical if your TV set has no remote
control or if it has less programme number locations than the
number of the TV channels actually received.
And this Is how to go about it:
O
Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
reserved for the video recorder playback.
© Press button The display will show e.g.:
© Press buttons + or — or the digit buttons 0-9 to select the
TV channel you wish to watch on the TV screen.
O Press button (1) to switch off the video recorder when you
don’t want to watch TV any more.
Attention I Timed recordings cannot be carried out when
‘TUNER’ (Tuner-mode) is indicated by the display.
Emergency switch off
You can interrupt all the functions of this video recorder by
pressing button (1).
Only the child lock function (see below) cannot be interrupted.
Child lock
With this function you may prevent the unauthorized operation of
your video recorder as all the button functions are blocked.
If a button is pressed then ’IGNOR’ flashes for awhile on the
display.
But don’t worry: Timed recordings can be carried out when the
child lock is active and cannot be interrupted.
O To use the child lock first switch off the video recorder.
Press and hold the button a-H for a couple of seconds, until
the display shows the symbol H3. The child lock is now
switched on.
@ If you wish to switch off the child lock, press button
again. The symbol EH disappears from the display.
Automatic switch-off
If the video recorder isn’t operated for longer than about 8
minutes during one of the following functions, the function will be
switched off. This avoids tape wear and reduces unnecessary
power consumption.
The video recorder is:
• in STOP after 8 minutes it switches off
• in EJECT after 8 minutes it switches off
• in PAUSE after 8 minutes it switches off
• in STILL after 8 minutes it switches to PLAY
• in SCAN 7 after 8 minutes it switches to PLAY
• in SLOW after 8 minutes it switches to PLAY (VR302)
Auto-dimmer
You may choose the brightness of the display indication when
the video recorder is switched off.
Switch the video recorder off and select the brightness of your
choice by pressing buttons + or —.
The buttons + / — and 0-9 * •

buttons. Here follows a short summary.
