<Notes>
O This unit employs the PRE RECORDING function as a
standard configuration.

REC START button when this switch is set to either
SAVE or STBY.
However, when the switch is set to SAVE position, the
length of time for operating the tape travel mechanism
after stopping the recording by pressing the REC
START button is slightly longer than when the switch is
set to STBY position.
O When the prescribed amount of time has elapsed in the
STBY mode, the unit is automatically set to the SAVE
mode. To return the unit to the STBY mode, set the
VTR SAVE/STBY switch to SAVE, and then again to
the STBY position.
