If both auto channel set and auto clock set have been performed successfully:
1 Perform "Video Channel Set" on page 8.
2 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 channel positions, or to set or change
station names, see pages 44 – 45.
3 Perform "SHOWVIEW 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 Perform "Video Channel Set" on page 8.
2 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 channel positions, or to set or change
station names, see pages 44 – 45.
3 Perform "Clock Set" on page 47, then "SHOWVIEW 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 Country Set display appears on the front display panel and/or on the screen; perform steps 2 and 4 on pages 4 – 5
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, SHOWVIEW timer recording (੬ pg. 28) will not work
correctly; be sure to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly (੬ pg.10, "SHOWVIEW 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 44.

NOTES:
● 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.
● 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.
ATTENTION:
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 RECORD to engage the

● If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or

may not fit on the tape if you engage the Auto SP/LP Timer
mode. In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then
set the tape speed manually during timer programming.
● There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the
recorder switches from SP to LP mode.
● If you perform timer recording with both PDC/VPS and the
Auto SP/LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond
its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the
programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.
PDC/VPS Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are 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.
NOTES:
Timer Warning
● When you manually enter programmes (regular timer
programming), set the start time (PDC or VPS time) exactly as
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised
will result in no recording.
If you have programmed your
recorder to timer-record a
programme or a series of

● 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.
NOTES:
● 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
EN
51
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 goes to its Stop mode auto-
matically 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. " " 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. 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.
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.
After checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.
