UNLOADING
The video cassette will be unloaded when the EJECT button is pressed.
ERASURE-PREVENTION TAB
If the erasure-prevention tab on the back of the video cassette is removed, it can not be recorded. This tab is designed to prevent the accidental erasure of recorded material. (The tab should be snapped off at its base, and removed completely.)
To record onto the same cassette again, place two layers of adhesive tape over the space where the tab was, so as to cover the space completely.
COUNTER MEMORY
This convenient feature for finding the beginning of a specific recording etc., is made possibly by the "Linear Time Counter" that indicates the tape run time in seconds.
☐ Whenever you load a cassette tape, the counter will be reset to "0H00M00s".
☐ The counter operates using control signals which are recorded on the tape, hence if you playback a tape which has nothing recorded on it, the counter will not operate.
1 Press the RESET and MEMORY buttons before starting recording or playback. The zero point of the counter is now memorized and the memory indicator "M" will illuminate.
2 When the REW button is pressed at the end of recording, or playback, tape will be rewound automatically to the memorized position and then stops.
☐ When rewinding further back from position “0H00M00s,” the counter shows figures beginning with “—”.
☐ The tape stops at the memorized position even with fast forward.

However, to access a programme directly as you watch the VCR display, press the CHECK button first.


NOTES ON TIMER SETTING
☐ Data for a maximum of 4 programmes can be stored in the remote control unit. Hence transmission can be performed after 4 programmes have been set in steps 1 to 5. The procedure is to call out in sequence the programmes set with the PROG button and transmit them to the VCR by the TRANS button.
☐ The timer indicator (☐) will flash to inform you if no video cassette is loaded.
☐ The timer indicator (☐) will flash 5 minutes before the starting time of each of the set programmes is reached.
☐ If an error occurs in the transmission of programme data from the remote control unit, "ER (error)" is shown on the VCR display. In this case, set the infrared emitter component of the remote control unit properly in front of the VCR remote control unit detector and transmit once again.
□ When the VCR's programme memory is full, the VCR displays "FULL".
☐ If programme setting is abandoned midway, the programme is automatically cancelled.
☐ The year is not displayed in the programme data of the remote control unit.
☐ If the same time is set for the recording start time and recording stop time, timer recording will be set to take place for 24 hours. Please note that, when a tape is inserted, recording will continue to the end of the tape.
By using the timer in this unit, you can record a source from an external audio/video unit.
At the step for setting the channel position number (for ordinary programming), cause "AU" to appear in the channel position number display and enter the external input mode into the memory.
To select the external input mode, enter "00" by pressing the 0/AV button on the remote control unit twice.

☐ If the start time for a second recording is reached before the programmed stop time for the first recording, the first recording will continue to the original stop time and the second recording will start after the first recording has finished.

☐ If several recordings have been programmed for the same start time on the same day, the programmed recording that was first entered has priority.
