DATE: July 4th, 2005
SETTING TIME: from 7:30PM to 8:50PM
CHANNEL: CH61
TAPE SPEED: SP
Make sure ...
- If a cable box or satellite box is connected with the unit you will be limited to record only one channel, and the channel selector on the unit must be selected to the output channel of the boxes CH 3 or CH 4 and then the actual channel to be recorded must be selected on the boxes.
- Clock must be set to the correct time and date before setting the timer.
- The unit must be turned on to program it.
- Insert a cassette tape with its erase-prevention tab in place. (If necessary, rewind or fast forward the tape to the point at which you want to begin recording.)
- The channel you want to record is properly set in advance. (Refer to page 12.)
Avoid overlap of programs ...
There is a chance that a program will not be recorded, when programs overlap;
- The program with an earlier start has priority.
- Once the earliest program finishes, the overlapping programs will begin recording in sequence.
- When the starting time is the same, the program set on the highest position in the program list has priority.
- The illustration below demonstrates the sequence of recordings.
Program 1 10:00AM - 11:00AM
Program 2 9:00AM - 10:00AM
