switches the VCR off when playback has been

reactivate the VCR by pressing another source

With Beo4, you can switch on and

operate a VCR you have connected to

BeoSystem 1 and registered in the

EXTERNAL SOURCES menu*. All

playback, wind, and stop functions

can be operated with Beo4. Eject a

video cassette via the close-up

operation panel on the VCR.

A set of functions available for your

VCR can be seen on a menu overlay

that you call up on the screen. You

can then operate these functions via

Beo4.

With BeoSystem 1 and Beo4, you can

make an instant recording of any

source you choose.

A timed recording must either be

preset via on-screen guides available

with the source you wish to record

from, or via the VCR’s own menus. In

the second case, the VCR’s own

remote control must be used. The

Record lock function can help ensure

that a signal is available between the

source and the VCR when the timed

recording is preset to take place.
