Setting the timer manually

To use the VCR before a recording begins, just press ?/1.  The 

 indicator 

turns off and the VCR switches on.  Remember to press ?/1 to reset the VCR 
to recording standby after using the VCR.

You can also do the following tasks while the VCR is recording:

• Reset the counter (page 34).
• Display tape information on the TV screen (page 37).
• Check the timer settings (page 55).
• Watch another TV programme (page 37).

In step 2 above, press 

m to select AUTO.  When you are recording a 

programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape length becomes shorter 
than the recording time, the recording tape speed is automatically changed to 
the LP mode.  Note that some noise will appear on the picture when the tape 
speed is changed.  To operate this function correctly, the “TAPE SELECT” 
setting in the USER SET menu must be accurate (see page 63).

• To set the line input video source, you can also use the INPUT SELECT button.
• Even if you set TIMER METHOD to VIDEOPLUS in the EASY OPERATION 

menu, you can set the timer manually.  Press MENU to select TIMER 
PROGRAMMING, then go to step 2.

• To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, see “Checking/changing/

• When setting the timer with PDC signals, enter the start and stop times exactly as 

indicated in the TV programme guide.  Otherwise, the PDC function will not work.

• If the PDC signal is too weak or the broadcasting station failed to transmit PDC 

signals, the VCR will start recording at the set time without using the PDC 
function.

• The 

 and 

 indicators flash in the display window when you press ?/1 with 

no tape inserted.
