 appears on the VCR display, press the 
TIMER 
ON/OFF 
 button
 
before starting.
Check that the clock is displaying the correct time.
Some broadcasts transmit an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) in which case, using the TV 
controls, the program you wish to record can be selected and used to program the VCR 
automatically. This feature is compatible with NexTView TV’s. Refer to your TV operation manual 
for further information. After transfer of the timer information to the VCR, the timer menu will be 
displayed for approximately 5 seconds, after which press the 
TIMER ON/OFF 
 button 
once to place the VCR in STANDBY mode. 
 will be shown on the display.
NOTES: 
A fully wired scart must be used for DIRECT TV RECORD operation.
If DIRECT TV RECORD could not start, the TV should indicate the reason why.
(Refer to the TV operation manual). 
The timer menu will not be displayed if this procedure is carried out while the VCR is in 
STANDBY mode.
VPS/PDC is a signal broadcast by some TV stations which adjusts the start and stop time 
of your VCR recording. This ensures that if there is a change in broadcast time for your 
programme the VCR will still record the whole programme. It is essential that the start 
time as it appears in the TV listing is used to program the VCR, as this information is used 
to identify the VPS/PDC signal corresponding to your programme.
If the 
 symbol flashes a video tape has not been inserted into the VCR.
During recording, press the 
STOP
 
 button to cancel the recording. If there are 
further recordings to be made, the VCR will return to Timer Standby.
