Recording what you are watching on the TV (TV Direct
Rec)
(not available on SLV-SE600B)
If you use the SMARTLINK connection, you can easily record what you are
watching on the TV (other than tapes being played on the VCR).
Tips
• The TV indicator appears in the display window after you press z ENR in some situations
such as:
– when you are watching a source connected to the TV’s line input, or
– when the TV tuner preset data for the programme position is different from the data in the
VCR tuner preset.
• If there is a tape with its safety tab in place in the VCR, the VCR automatically turns on and
starts recording what you are watching on the TV when you press z ENR.
• You can turn the TV Direct Rec function OUI and NON in the OPTIONS-2 menu (see page
79).
Notes
• You cannot record what you are watching using this method when the VCR is in the
following modes; pause, timer standby, tuner preset, Auto Set Up, and recording.
• When the TV indicator is lit in the display window, do not turn off the TV nor change the TV
programme position. When the TV indicator is not lit, the VCR continues recording the
programme even if you change the TV programme position on the TV.
1 Insert a tape with its safety tab in place.
2 Press z ENR while you are watching a TV programme or external source.
The VCR automatically turns on, then the TV indicator lights up and the VCR
starts recording what you are watching on the TV.
