Programming & Record/Playback Features

Auto Satellite Link™

If you own a satellite dish, this is the feature you’ve been waiting for. Set your DBS receiver to turn on and tune in to a specific program and it will automatically turn on the VCR in the record mode and then turn off when the DBS receiver turns off.The secret is in the A/V input jack panel. It senses the presence of a video signal…and the rest is history.

One-Touch Record

Record up to 8 hours or to the end of the tape with the touch of a single button. Each touch of the OTR button adds 30 minutes of additional recording time.

7-Event/1-Year Smart Programming

Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 7 separate programs over a full 365-day period.No manual setting, adjusting,or programming of the calendar function is required.

Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming

Program by remote control for unattended recording, with programming instructions onscreen for visual verification. Onscreen menus lead you through normal, daily, or weekly programming by program number, channel to be recorded, start and stop times, speed, and date of recording by day, month, and year.Pressing the clear button lets you go back and reprogram over mistakes, and pressing the menu button at the end of programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.

When tape playback begins, this feature automatically seeks the optimum tracking position in the tracking range, and the optimum audio signal tracking position for clearest picture and sound. Buttons on the remote transmitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

Convenience

Automatic Channel Setup

The VCR tuner scans through television frequencies, automatically storing active broadcast channel into memory.Then, only active channels programmed into memory are tuned using the channel up/down buttons on either the remote or front panel of the VCR.Automatic channel preset can be repeated whenever desired, should new channels become available. Channels can be manually added or deleted.

181-Channel FS Tuning

The digital quartz tuner can receive up to 181 channels, including UHF, VHF, and 113 cable channels, without the inconvenience and expense of a cable company decoder/converter (on non-scrambled cable systems). Channel tuning is by random access with the remote control transmitter or scan tuning up and down by remote or at the set.
