Erase protection: So that you don't accidentally delete an important recording, you can remove the special tab (erase protection) on the narrow side of the cassette with a screwdriver or slide the special tab to the left. Later, if you no longer want the cassette to be erase protected, you can seal the gap again with adhesive tape or slide the special tab to the right.

This makes it possible to record, for example, 8 hours instead of 4 hours on an 'E240' cassette. Before recording, with the video recorder switched on, select the 'LP' (=LongPlay) recording speed by pressing the SP/LP button. 'LP' will appear in the display. Note: During picture scanning, still picture and slow motion colour playback may be poor. * You will obtain the best picture quality when recording at standard speed ('SP'). How to programme a recording The video recorder needs the following information for every programmed recording: * the date on which the recording is to be made * the programme number for the TV channel * the start and stop time of the recording * 'PDC' on or off The set stores all the information mentioned above in what is known as a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks, one month in advance. With 'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control), the TV station controls the beginning and the length of the programmed recording. This means that the video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier or finishes later than expected. Usually the start time is the same as the PDC time code. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme's start time, a different PDC time is given, e. g. : '20. 15 (PDC 20. 14)', you have to enter '20. 14' as the start time exactly to the minute. If you want to enter a time that differs from the PDC time, you have to switch off 'PDC'. Some general notes for recording · Recording from external sources: Programme numbers 'E1' and 'E2' are provided for recording from external sources (via the EXT. 1 or EXT. 2 scart socket). OTR - recording: If you do not want to record to the end of the cassette, press the RECORD 5 button again. The display shows at what time the recording will stop. [. . . ] At step 2, press the CLEAR (CL) button for several seconds until 'MOFF' (modulator switched off) appears in the display. You can switch back again in the same way.
