Timer recording

Your VCR will follow a schedule for unattended recording of those "hard to catch” programs you'd like to see.

-With the TIMER feature it’s easy to make a schedule of 8 fully independent programs for automatic recording.
You cevi plan 7 independent one time recording events any time within a 3 week period.
Each of the 7 independent program positions also allows its own series of DAILY recording events to take place
at the same Time, Recording Length, and Channel. In addition an 8th program position allows a series of WEEKLY
recording events to take place on the same Weekday, at the same Time, Length, and Channel.
Both DAILY and WEEKLY series recording plans may continue for the full length of the cassette.
The Remote Control has an OSD Button that activates the On Screen Display with a format that shows all current
programs set and also includes a help function, for convenient Timer Programming.
Repeat the steps shown here for each recording plan you want to add to your schedule.

For each program number your VCR Timer needs to have:

broadcast channels.

2) The HRC system stands for Harmonically
Related Carrier. In this system the channel
frequencies are all offset from the normal
frequencies by a fixed arnount.

3) The IRC system (is also called ICC system)

TV RECORDING PREPARATION

• With cable connections VCR and TV channel selections
may differ from those for antenna connections. Refer to
the separate Basic Guide For VCR Connections (or
according to cable service).

• If the reception of all VHP channels is unsatisfactory you
may need to tune your TV set.

• Some TV sets have electronic tuners which automatically
fine tune each channel. If your TV set has this type of
tuner, it probably does not provide any manual
adjustment.

TO RECORD A TV PROGRAM (RECORDING)

• When recording ends, the tape is automatically rewound
and ejected, and the VCR will turn itself off,

• It is possible to change the Tape-Speed Selector while
you are actually recording but there will be a momentary

The type of tape (NV-T60, NV-T120, NV-TI6O) determines

the maximum length of recording tirñe. The TAPE-SPEED

SELECTOR sets 3 recording speeds: SP, LP and SLP.
They determine how fasi the tape moves and consequently
the amount of recording ••me available. (Refer to chart at
the top of page 39.) An SP recording gives the best picture
in normal playback.
SP and SLP recordings give the best special eft^icts

take priority.

• To check a Preset O.T.R. program, you may press the
STAND BY or O.T.R. Button on the VCR. The preset
program will be displayed for a few seconds. You may
re-set the program at this time.

• If a One Touch Recording occurs while the Timer is set

КОТЕ:

• CATV channel designations are not standardized like broadcast channels. Therefore, there may be some
variation between cable systems. If in doubt, consult your cable company or local Panasonic Dealer,

• Numbers not listed on the charts above cannot be entered.

• Please note that all previously erased channels may return to original selections when the position of the
ANTENNA SYSTEM SELECT Button is changed while CHANNEL MEMORY Button is ON.

• When the power is disconnected for long periods and electric back-up system shuts off, it is possible that

CHANNEL MEMORY may return to original manufactured selections.

In this case reset CHANNEL MEMORY as desired.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR TYPE OF CABLE SYSTEM

® Set the ANTENNA SYSTEM SELECT Button to the “CATV” position.
© Select various channels that you normally receive on your cable system. The channels should lock in almost

immediately after they are selected and should appear perfectly tuned.
The synthesized tuner on this model will automatically fine tune the selected channel for you. If the channels
seem to take some time to lock in or will not lock in, you may have the HRC or IRC cable systems. In this

case, continue with steps and (D below.
© Set the button to the “HRC" position and try the above procedure again.
© If you are having trouble with only channels 5 and 6. you may have an “IRC" type system so set the button

to the "IRC” position. When the proper setting is determined you should be able to clearly receive all the

cable channels that you were originally able to receive on your TV.

NOTE:;

• If you cannot determine your cable system, please contact your cable company.

Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an off-the-air
TV signal, you might experience the following symptom on your TV
screen: "Top of TV screen is bent or unstable when VCR is played
back. This symptom is more noticeable when a pre-recorded tape,

recorded by another VCR, is played back." To solve this problem,
locate the horizontal hold control on your TV. Turn it slowly to correct
the wavy picture. If your TV does not have the horizontal hold control
or adjusting the control does r>ot help, some modifications have to be
made to the TV set. Technically this Is called "Horizontal AFC time
constant change." If such a problem Is noticed, please contact your
local TV service center. (Some nominal service charges are required.)

(a) Video Head Cleaning; Your VCR will not normally require head cleaning: however, it

is possible that the heads may become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape.
It the image on your screen resembles the photograph on the left, while playing back
a tape, the heads may require cleaning.

(b) Cleaning the Heads: It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by a qualified

V4,„' service technician. Please contact your nearest Panasonic Service Center. An alternate

Clogged Video Head solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. There are many types of cleaning

cassettes, so be sure to follow the cleaning instructions carefully, excessive use of the cleaning cassette could

shorten head life. Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptom occurs.

ol antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 1 for items a-d below.
a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm')copper. No. B AWG (8.4 mm') aluminum.

No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm') copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as

ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-ofi

insulators spaced from 4 feel (1.22 m) to 6 feet (1.83 m) apart.
