Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe  
Use Of Equipment  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any  
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-  
tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's  
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-  
ment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is  
damanged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is de-  
signed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the  
equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need  
to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements  
of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheat-  
ing will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always  
fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instruc-  
tions.  
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL...  
— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the  
case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than  
sorry!

● When neither auto channel set nor auto clock set has been  
completed successfully, "--:--" will be displayed.  
* See "Video Plus+ Setup" on page 10 to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly.  
If both auto channel set and auto clock set have been performed successfully:  
1 Turn on the TV and select its VIDEO channel or AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the  
recorder's memory by using the TV PROG button(s).  
● If station names (ID — ੬ pg. 46) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the  
top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the recorder is tuned to a different station.  
● If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change preset positions, or to set or change station  
names, see pages 42 – 45.  
2 Perform "Video Plus+ Setup" on page 10 to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly.  
If auto channel set has succeeded but auto clock set has not:  
1 Turn on the TV and select its VIDEO channel or AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the  
recorder's memory by using the TV PROG button(s).  
● If station names (ID — ੬ pg. 46) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the  
top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the recorder is tuned to a different station.  
● If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change preset positions, or to set or change station  
names, see pages 42 – 45.  
2 Perform "Clock Set" on page 48, then "Video Plus+ Setup" on page 10 to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set  
correctly.  
If both auto channel set and auto clock set have failed:  
1 Make sure the TV aerial cable is connected properly to the recorder and turn off the recorder power once, then turn the  
recorder power back on again.  
● The recorder will try Auto Set Up again.  
IMPORTANT  
● Depending on the reception conditions, the station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may  
not work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, Video Plus+ timer recording (੬ pg. 24) will not work  
correctly; be sure to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly  
(੬ pg.10, "Video Plus+ Setup").  
● Since your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if the reception condition is poor, some of those stored stations  
may produce a noisy picture. To delete those stations, ੬ "Delete A Channel" on page 43.

and/or the channel setting steps on pages 40 – 45, and after the  
Clock Set procedure on page 48.  
After setting the Guide Program numbers, the station names and  
preset positions may be incorrect if you stored or skipped  
channels. In this case, re-perform Guide Program number setting.

signals are transmitted together with the audio/video  
signals. These code signals control your video recorder and  
have precedence over advertised times you preset in the  
timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop  
recording when the preset TV programmes actually start  
and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV  
programme is changed.

PDC Recording  
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme  
Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe,  
accurate timer recording. With this system, special code  
signals are transmitted together with the audio/video  
signals. These code signals control your video recorder and  
have precedence over advertised times you preset in the  
timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop  
recording when the preset TV programmes actually start  
and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV  
programme is changed.

no recording.  
● PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver  
or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN on your

● PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT  
connector and the front panel connectors.

● Depending on the reception conditions, the station names  
may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program

numbers are not set properly, Video Plus+ timer recording  
(੬ pg. 24) will not work correctly; be sure to check if the  
Guide Program numbers have been set correctly  
(੬ pg.10, "Video Plus+ Setup").  
● Since your video recorder memorizes all detected  
stations even if the reception condition is poor, some of  
those stored stations may produce a noisy picture. To  
delete those stations, ੬ "Delete A Channel" on page 43.

CLOCK SET  
48  
IMPORTANT  
Perform the following steps only if Auto Clock Set has not  
been performed correctly by Auto Set Up (੬ pg. 8) or  
Auto Channel Set (੬ pg. 40) or if the recorder's memory  
backup has expired.  
Clock Set  
Turn on the TV and select the VIDEO channel (or AV mode).  
If you performed Auto Set Up or Auto Channel Set without ever  
having set the clock previously, the recorder’s built-in clock is  
also set automatically. The Auto and Manual clock setting  
procedures are necessary when . . .  
– a power outage of more than 3 minutes occurs.  
– the tuner has been set manually.  
– the user desires to set the clock slightly ahead of the actual time.  
– the clock was not set even after Auto Set Up or Auto Channel  
Set was performed.  
Whether you perform Auto or Manual clock setting, you can  
use the convenient Just Clock function.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
52  
PLAYBACK  
RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end  
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by  
the beginning of the continuation of recording. Why  
does this happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and  
resume points.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
Record-Pause mode?  
A. No. The video recorder shuts off automatically after 5  
minutes to protect the heads.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the  
beginning.  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the Record Safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
TIMER RECORDING  
Q. "Q" and "‰" remain lit on the display panel. Is there  
a problem?  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video recorder  
can’t find the programme I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.  
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in  
progress.  
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape  
or a TV broadcast?  
A. You won’t see the picture as it is replaced by the on-  
screen menu, but the audio from the program or tape  
you’re viewing can be heard.  
ATTENTION:  
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,  
switch the recorder off and unplug the mains power cord. Then plug it in again and turn the recorder on. Take out the cassette.
