Preparation
• Make sure that the Timer Record Function is set to “Off”.
• Insert a video cassette with the erasure prevention tab
intact.
When a video cassette is already inside the VTR, press
the VTR On/Off Switch to turn it on.
• Set the Tape Speed Selector to “SP" or “LP”.
• Set the VTR/TV Selector to “VTR”.
Tape Speed Selector (SP/LP)
For recording, either of two tape speeds can be selected.
During playback, the VTR will automatically select the
correct speed.
• SP Mode: For better picture quality.
• LP Mode; For longer recording time.
It is not recommended to change from the SP to the
LP mode or vice versa in the middle of recording.
Even if the switching is done while the VTR is in the
pause mode, picture distortion will occur at the
^ switching point during playback.__________________^
Note:
The picture quality in the LP mode is not as good as that
in the SP mode.
• When a video cassette with broken out tab is inserted,
the indication will flash, and an alarm sound will be
produced to indicate that recording is not possible.
• During recording, the programme position (channel) on
the VTR cannot be changed.
• To start a recording with the Remote Controller, press
the two Record Buttons on the Remote Controller
simultaneously.
• When a recording (including OTR and Timer Recording)
is started, the tape is played back for a short moment
before the actual recording starts, in order to achieve
smooth continuation from the previous to the new
recording. Therefore, the new recording starts about
1.5 seconds late.
