General information
Use 'Manual recording' to make a spontaneous recording (for example, a programme currently being shown). If you want to start and stop a recording manually, read the section 'Recording without automatic switch-off'. Read the section 'DIRECT RECORD' if you want to record a programme currently being shown. Read the section 'Automatic controlled recording from a satellite receiver (RECORD LINK)', if you want a recording to be controlled automatically by a satellite receiver.

Preventing accidental erasing
All cassettes (except rental and pre-recorded cassettes) have a security tab on the back of the cassette. To prevent recording over important recordings (erasing), you can remove this security tab. If you later decide to record on a protected cassette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape or slide the tab to the right.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)
When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows: 1.Find the tape position of the old recording 1. where you want to insert the new recording. 2.Look at the last minute of the old recording 2. (playback). 3.Press STILL 2 at the tape position where the 3. new recording is to go and press
