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. To leave
an index mark between shows, simply press STOP at the end of each show, then press
REC 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 TV screen.
You can set the VCR to record a second audio program by activating the SAP option
through the Easy Guide System.
Press GUIDE, then press 5 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.
