HOW CAN I RECORD
DIRECTLY?
The easiest way of recording is to directly record a TV pro­
gramme that is currently being transmitted.
And this is how to go about it:
O
Insert a cassette. The video recorder will switch on
automatically.
O
Use the rotary c o n t r o l o r the digit buttons
(remote control) to select the programme number of the
TV channel from which you wish to record.
The programme numbers 'El' and 'E2' are reserved for
recording from external sources (via AV-Euro-sockets -
'EXTERNAL 1/2') e.g, satellite tuner.
Press button LiSPy.LPj.j to select a different recording
speed (SP/LP).
O
When you want to start recording, press button
h: RECORD I P J R U .
The display of the video recorder will show, e.g.:
The video recorder will record the TV programme you have
chosen. The small red 'RECORD' lamp will light up on the
display.
O
You can stop recording by pressing button l.iSJOP y.
Note: If you do not want to record to the end of the cassette,
press button :.;.REC0RD.,/..0TRL. again. The display will
show the end time of the recording (also known as the OTR
time). Each time you press button :J.RECORD / OTR again,
you can add another 30 minutes.
If you have pressed it too many times, you can return to
normal recording by pressing button :,LCLPAR ^; (remote
control).
As soon as the end time is reached, the video recorder will
switch off automatically.
Can I switch off the TV set during recording?
Yes. Your video recorder has its own receiver, enabling it
to record TV programmes. This means that you can use the
TV set independently of the video recorder while recording.
You can switch it off and on or watch another TV channel
without disturbing the recording.
If you would like to check what you are currently recording,
select on the TV set the programme number assigned to the
video recorder.
General notes: * While recording one TV programme, do
you wish to switch to another TV channel and record that?
To do this, you have to interrupt the current recording with
button ySTOPl;. Then select the new programme number
and start recording the TV programme you want with button
uMcoj^LPTRU.
* If you forget to load a cassette before recording, the dis­
play will warn you by showing 'EJECT'.
* If you accidentally load a cassette with erase protection
for a recording, the indication 'PROTECTED' will appear in
the display.
After a few seconds the cassette will be automatically
ejected.
* If the end of the cassette is reached during recording, it
will be automatically ejected. The video recorder switches
itself off.
* When you make a new recording on a video cassette, it
will automatically record over and delete any recordings
already on the cassette.
