On a dvd recorder, what actually does Standby-On mean? Are Standy and
On alternatives, as in an On/Off lightswitch? Or does this switch
toggle between Standby-On and Standby-Off?
On my Philips DVD-615 the Standby-On button is a toggle that displays
either an icon that looks like a cactus or an icon made of the letters
TV. It makes no mention of "Standby".
For a Timer Recording, after storing and exiting Timer, I come to the
instruction "Press Standby-On to switch off the DVD recorder". So
what do I need to see? Cactus or TV? (Seems odd to me that I have to
switch off the recorder to record something). The situation is further
clouded by the next explanation that "The DVD recorder must be in
standby mode for the timer recording to occur." (Which seems to imply
that the DVD must be switched on.) BTW there appears to be no simple
On/Off switch on this machine.
Currently I'm getting Timer recording to work only about 40% of th
time I try to record.
Can some kind soul please get me out of thuis mess?
