Where is on/standby button on remote for timer recording

Try disconnecting from power and connecting back, if it does not fix it bring it back, it is faulty.

You need to turn off the Timer and then add your new program to the schedule. Then turn the Timer back on (power off).
On most VCRs, the Timer is enabled by turning off the unit. Thus turning it on will work (as long as a program isn't currently being recorded). If a program is currently being recorded, press Stop to interrupt the programmed recording. Then add your new program - that doesn't conflict with other programmed recording or exceed the number of available timed recordings for the unit. Then turn off the unit.

At least one VCR I owned was a bit trickier. You had to press the Timer button on the remote instead of the power button.

I hope this helps.

Hi, if ithere is no button on the front of the unit or on the remote, then simply setting the unit to standby with either power button should make the unit enter the timer record mode. (This will be indicated with TIMER or a small red clock symbol in the display providing all the conditions have ben met. i..e clock & timer correctly set, tape in machine, etc)

I encountered a similar problem when recording and I phoned Sky and they changed my settings to eliminate standby mode for me.
No problem any more.

The machine is in a "fault mode", as you have figured, but it's much more likely that a motor has not completed it's cycle upon power-up. It's also possible that the load carriage is out-of-time, and will need to be set according to manual specs...accordianman

This is from the KR10 manual. Hope it helps.
1. Set the clock before setting a timer.
2. Insert a recordable disc with enough space.
Then:
1. Press [TIMER PROG] on the remote
2. Use up/down arrows to select "New Program" then press [ENTER]
3.Use up/down arrows to enter the date, then press right arrow
4. Use the arrow keys to enter the start and end time, then press right arrow key.
5. Use the up/down arrows to select the external input position to which your cable/satellite box is connected, then press [right arrow]
6. Use the up/down arrows to select a recording mode.
7. Press [ENTER] when all items are entered.
8. Press red [I/O ON STANDBY] to set a timer programming.

DO NOT FORGET THIS LAST STEP! The timers will not work if the recorder is not in standby mode.

turn the power on. to get rid of the red light you need to press the timer/rec button on the remote until it turns off. the red light means it is programed to record.

i have a presidian dvd recorder and when i put in
a new blank dvd-r disc it only gets it prepared up to
21% and tthen it stops and opens

once you have set timer record, you must then put machine in standby mode,once in standby mode you will have a little timer display in panel,should then come on when time to record
