You can record a TV show in progress by inserting a blank tape and
pressing the REC button. You can even add time in 30-minute
increments up to 4 hours by pressing the REC button repeatedly;
see page 49.
NOTE: Be sure you videotape has a Record Safety Tab. If the tab
is missing, you can cover the opening with a small piece of
tape. Warning: Do not cover this opening unless you are
sure you want to record over the tape.
Before You Begin...
• Power on the DVD-VCR
• Power on the TV
• Set the TV to channel 3 or 4 .
1 Insert Tape
Insert a blank VHS tape into the VCR deck.
• Make sure the tape is long enough to record the entire program.
To change the Recording Speed, see page 49.
2 Select a Channel to Record
Use the 0–9 buttons or the Channel Up/Down arrow buttons to
select the desired channel, or press the INPUT SEL. button to
select Line 1 or 2 if recording from an external device connected to
the front or rear Line inputs, respectively.
3 Start Recording
Press the REC button on the remote control or front panel.
For options while recording is in progress, see “Special Recording
Features” on the next page.
➢ Recording from the DVD player to the VCR is not
possible.
Press the SEARCH button to display the search screen in the stop
mode. When a program is recorded, the starting point is given an
Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS Index Search
System (VISS) cannot recognize index marks made by old VCRs. If
the VCR has trouble finding a mark, it is probably because the
cassette was recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index
two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start recording
each program. Pause has no effect on index marks.
1 Scan and play
Use scan and play when you don’t know exactly where a program
is located on a cassette tape.
• Press right arrow for forward scan or left arrow for reverse scan.
• The display will show “Scan and Play”.
• When an index mark is found, the VCR plays for about five
seconds.
• Press the PLAY button to view that program.
If you don’t press PLAY, the VCR automatically searches for the
next index, or until the end of the tape is reached.
2 Go to 0:00:00 stop
Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter
position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR button at the point on the
tape where you want to set the counter to 0:00:00. Later, while a
cassette is stopped, press up arrow button. The VCR will rewind or
fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position, and then
automatically stop at that position.
3 End search
Use this feature when you want to search for a blank position to
record a program on a cassette. While a cassette is stopped, press
down arrow button. The VCR will fast forward, searching for a
blank position, and then automatically stop at that position.
If the VCR reaches the end of the tape during end search, the tape
will be ejected.
