Solution: The recording deck is already in use. Press STOP on this deck.
Overlapping Events

· Complete Program Record (CPR) adjusts the recording speed to make sure you won't run out of tape before the Timer Recording is complete. With Record Speed set to "Auto, " the VCR will begin recording in SP. It will then calculate how much time is remaining on the tape and adjusts the record speed to SLP if necessary.
