The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate

playback.

START RECORDING

Press and hold RECORD and press PLAY on the remote,

or press RECORD on the recorder.

START PLAYBACK

DURING B.E.S.T.

Press PLAY.

● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality

based on the quality of the tape in use.

● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. “BEST”

appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE

N O TES:

● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”,

it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback

as well.

● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another

video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for

editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1

through 5 on page 24.

● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds

assessing the condition of the tape, then begins

recording.

N O TES:

● "BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.

Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function

is operative.

● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after

a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first

initiated. It does not work during recording.

● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog

recording is in progress (੬ pg. 32).

● In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works

before recording is initiated.

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled.

The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-

performed.

● Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is

displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (੬ pg. 21).

ATTEN TIO N

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually

starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after

RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD

on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the

desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the

following steps:

1) Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the

RECORD PAUSE mode.

● The recorder then automatically checks the condition

of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-

enters RECORD PAUSE.

2) Press PLAY to start recording.

● If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin

recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in

step 4 on page 24.

which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner.

Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER

connector (੬ pg. 44, 45) and programme the timer on the

● To disengage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, press

REC LINK. The button's light goes off.

● If the recorder's power is off, it is not possible to

engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

● Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot

be done at the same time.

N O TES:

● Auto Satellite Prog recording is possible with the AV2 IN/DECODER connector only. (੬ pg. 44, 45)

● For timer programming of the satellite tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite tuner.

● Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite tuner does not have a timer.

● The button's light blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.

● Pressing the recorder's

button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengage

the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

● If there are more than one satellite programme you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set the

different tape speed per each; the tape speed selected in step 2 will be applicable to all the programmes for Auto Satellite Prog

recording.

● The B.E.S.T. system (੬ pg. 24) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.

● Just Clock (੬ pg. 56) does not work when the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged.

● Depending on the type of satellite tuner, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record

slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.

● If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Recording mode when the satellite tuner's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto

Satellite Prog recording even though the button's light blinks. When the satellite tuner shuts off once and is turned back on again,

the recorder starts recording.

● When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the recorder's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is

finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".

● After Auto Satellite Programme recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for

the Instant ReView function (੬ pg. 17).

● You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.

● When you press and hold the recorder's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the button does not light

but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite tuner's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not work properly with

that satellite tuner*.

If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (੬ pg. 28) to timer-record a satellite programme.

* Some satellite tuners output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite tuners.

CAUTIO N S:

MAKE CONNECTIONS

● This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with

regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that

you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the

Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge

in the input level to the speakers may damage them.

Connect the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors on your

video recorder to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR

terminals on your stereo system’s receiver or amplifier.

● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to

prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded

type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this

can adversely affect the video playback picture.

N O TES:

● When connecting your recorder’s audio output connectors to

a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.

● If stereo or bilingual TV broadcasts are receivable in your

area, this recorder can record them independently of the TV

set and play them back through the connected stereo system.

● When listening to sound through the connected stereo system,

turn the TV’s volume down completely.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

TIMER 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. " " and "‰" remain lit on the display panel. Is there

a problem?

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in

progress.

Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the

still mode?

Q. Can I programme 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 programme or

tape you’re viewing can be heard.

A. No. It stops 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?

Q. Is it possible to timer-record a TV programme

broadcast in 2000?

A. No, it is normal.

A. Yes, it is possible.

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.

RECORDING

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

Record-Pause mode?

A. No. The video recorder goes to its Stop mode

automatically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.

Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?

A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the

beginning.

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.

After checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.
