Apart from the functions that have already been described, your
video recorder has other special functions and extras designed to
make operating the video recorder as convenient as possible.
In the following chapter we will tell you more about them.
Your video recorder as an extension of your TV set
(Tuner-mode)
You may also use your video recorder for the reception of TV
channels (Tuner) . This is practical if your TV set has no remote
control or if it has less programme number locations than the number
of the TV channels actually received.
And this is how to go about it:
O
Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
reserved for the video recorder playback.
o Press button taLUiiai« . The display will show e.g.:

(Tuner-mode) is indicated by the display.

You can interrupt all the functions of this video recorder by pressing
button (!).
Only the child lock function (see below) cannot be interrupted.
Child lock
With this function you may prevent the unauthorized operation of
your video recorder as all the button functions are blocked.

programmed recordings (i.e.TIMER-blocks) on the TV screen .

displayed. Press this button Q again to remove the summary.
OSD does not function while a recording is taking place.
Automatic switch-off
If the video recorder isn’t operated for longer than about 8 minutes
during one of the following functions, the function will be switched off
automatically. This avoids tape wear and reduces unnecessary
power consumption. The video recorder is:
• in STOP after 8 minutes it switches off
• in EJECT after 8 minutes it switches off
• in PAUSE after 8 minutes it switches off
• in STILL after 8 minutes it switches to PLAY
• in SLOW after 8 minutes it switches to PLAY

buttons. Here follows a short summary.

Secam-East receptiort
With this video recorder you can also receive transmission systems
PAL-B, G and SECAM-B, G in colour. Your colour TV set must,
however, be equipped to receive these transmission standards.
Your video recorder will switch automatically from the PAL trans­
mission standard to SECAM reception and vice versa.
Please note: Video cassettes recorded on the French SECAM
colour system can only be reproduced in black-and-white. This is a
technical limitation and not a fault in your video recorder.
