34 Timer Recording
Follow the steps below to program the TV/VCR to record TV
programs while you’re away from home. The TV/VCR will turn
itself on, record, and turn itself off automatically. Before you begin,
make sure:
● The clock is set. If not, CLOCK MUST BE SET appears, fol-
lowed by the SET CLOCK menu.
● Channels are set up.
● There is a tape in the TV/VCR. (Make sure the tape’s record
tab is intact and the tape is long enough to record the pro-
gram.)
Complete each step within 60 seconds of completing the
previous step. If you don’t, you may start again at step 1.

• With ShowGuard, you don’t have to
worry about losing your timer
recordings. If the power fails, pro-
grammed timer recordings will be
restored when the clock is reset.

CLOCK feature. Details are on
pages 14-17. If you are not using
the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the
clock manually. Details are on
pages 12-13.) The timer recording
will not occur only if the timer
recording was scheduled to take
place during the power failure.
• You cannot set a timer recording if
DEFEAT RECORDING is set to ON.
