To Leave Index Marks on the Tape
This feature is useful when you are recording several programs on the same tape. It helps you quickly
find the beginnings of the shows during playback (page 32).
You create the index "mark" every time you begin recording by pressing REC and PLAY at the same time
or REC/IRT. To leave an index mark between shows, simply press STOP at the end of each show, then
press REC and PLAY at the same time or REC/IRT to record the next show. (Pressing PAUSE during
recording does not leave an index mark.)
During timed recordings, the VCR automatically inserts an index mark at the beginning of the recording.
To Record a Second Audio Program (SAP)
Some stations transmit a Second Audio Program - such as in a second language. If a station broadcasts
in SAP, the SAP indicator will display on your VCR.
You can set the VCR to record a second audio program by activating the SAP option through the Easy
Guide System.
Press GUIDE twice, then press 1 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.
Press 8 to set the SECOND AUDIO option to ON.
When this is set, the VCR records the second audio program.
Using the Instant Recording Timer (IRT)
The Instant Recording Timer (REC/IRT button on the VCR) will let you make a simplified timer recording
without having to use the programming timer. In order to set the IRT properly the clock must be set before
starting.
Follow the steps 1 through 5 on "Basic Recording Steps" on page 33.
After the recording has started, press the REC/IRT button again to indicate the recording time on the
display.
You can set the recording time length, which increases by intervals of 30 minutes, one hour, one and half
hours, two hours, three hours, and four hours, (i.e. 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00) by continually
pressing the REC/IRT button. While you are recording, the time remaining is shown in the display.
At the end of your recording the display will read "0:00"; recording will then automatically stop and the
VCR will turn itself off.
To stop recording while in the IRT mode, press the POWER button and then press the STOP button (this
can be done either on the VCR or with the remote control) within 10 seconds.
