Tips
• To set the channel, you can also use the CH +/– or number buttons.
• You can set the channel with the shuttle ring during stop. However, you cannot set
the channel with the shuttle ring on the remote commander when:
– you set CABLE MOUSE in the CABLE BOX CONTROL menu to ON.
– you press JOG so that the remote commander is in jog mode.
• To set the tape speed, you can also use the SP/EP button.
• When you are recording a program in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes
shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the EP
mode. Note that some noises will appear on the picture when the tape speed is
changed. If you want to keep the tape speed, set AUTO TAPE SPEED to OFF in the
ADVANCED OPTIONS menu (page 33).
• "LINE3" is reserved for LASER LINK input when viewing the camcorder picture
(page35). Cable connection is r ecommended when recording the picture from the
camcorder (page 38).
• When a tape with a SmartFile label attached is inserted, the AUTO BLANK
SEARCH screen appears after closing the menu in step 5. For details, see "Setting
timer recording in the Blank Time space" (page50).
Notes
• If you are using cable box control, you cannot select "LINE1", "LINE2" or "LINE3".
• The station ID appears on the TV screen only when you complete Smart Channel
Mapping and the VCR receives the program information signal (see page 54 of the
supplied hookup/setup manual).
