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 — 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 — 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 (pg. 28) will not work  
correctly; be sure to check if the Guide Program numbers have been set correctly (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, "Delete A Channel" on page 44.  
INFORMATION  
Language for the on-screen display  
Auto Set Up also selects the language automatically for the on-screen display depending on the Country setting you have made  
in step 2 on page 4 (unless you have selected BELGIUM or SUISSE), as shown below.

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  
RECORD PAUSE mode.  
The recorder then automatically checks the condition  
of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-

Even if, in step 1, you press AUTO SP/LP TIMER and the

If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or  
more programs, the second programme and those thereafter  
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  
– WARNING–

PDC/VPS recording is not possible in areas where no TV  
station transmits PDC or VPS signals.  
PDC/VPS recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a  
cable system is connected to the AV2 IN/DECODER  
connector on your recorder.  
PDC/VPS recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT

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.

Turn on the TV and select the VIDEO channel (or AV mode).  
IMPORTANT  
Perform the following steps only if auto clock set has not  
been set correctly by Auto Set Up function (pg. 4) or  
Auto Channel Set (pg. 42) or if the recorder's memory  
backup has expired.  
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 . . .

Whether you perform Auto or Manual clock setting, you can  
use the convenient Just Clock function.  
Just Clock  
The Just Clock function provides accurate time keeping  
through automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by  
reading data from a PDC signal.  
The Just Clock option appears in the Clock Set and Auto  
Clock screens, and can be set “ON” or “OFF” (the default  
setting is “OFF”). Press OK until the Just Clock setting  
begins blinking, then press PUSH JOG%fi to change the  
setting.  
OK  
MENU  
IMPORTANT: If you turn off Just Clock, the accuracy of  
your recorder’s built-in clock may be reduced, which could  
adversely effect timer recording. We recommend you to  
keep Just Clock on. In cases where the clock setting data  
from a PDC signal is incorrect, however, you are advised to  
keep Just Clock set to "OFF".  
PUSH JOG  
* Just Clock does not work in areas where no TV station  
transmits PDC signals.  
Both Auto and Manual clock setting procedures begin from step 4.

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.
