• These VCRs may support some or all of the features described above. For de-
tails, refer to the VCR Instruction Manual.
When "FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE" is displayed:
If "FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE" is displayed after download execution, the down-
load was not performed correctly. Confirm the following before re-executing down-
load:
• that the VCR power is turned on.
• that the VCR is T-V LINK compatible.
• that the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal.
• that the SCART cable is fully wired.
Operating Precautions for DIRECT REC:
• Generally, the VCR cannot record a channel that cannot be received properly by
the VCR's tuner even though that channel could be viewed on the TV.
• In the following conditions, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if
the TV channel or input is switched, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:
– When recording images from an external device connected to the EXT-1,
EXT-3 or EXT-4 terminal.
– When recording a channel after it has been unscrambled on a decoder.
– When recording a channel by using the TV's output because that channel can-
not be properly received on the VCR's tuner.
