Operation
CHANNEL: Select a TV channel, LINE1 or
LINE2.
If you have CABLE TV and use a cable box (con-
verter) you must set the channel to match the
cable box output channel (usually CH 3 or 4).
Change channels on the cable box instead of with
the DVD+VCR. If you use a cable converter, you
can program multiple recordings only on the con-
verter box output channel. This is because the
converter determines what channel you view
through your DVD+VCR.
SPEED: AUTO mode determines how much tape
is left and switches the speed from SP to SLP if it
is necessary to complete recording the program. If
this occurs there could be some picture and
sound distortion at the point where the speed
changes.
REPEAT: To record up to 8 programs on a certain
day of every week select WEEKLY. To record up
to 8 programs at the same time Monday through
Friday select DAILY. Otherwise select ONCE.
7. Press SETUP MENU and the program is memo-
rized by the DVD+VCR.
8. Additional programs may be entered by repeating
steps 1-7.
9. Ensure you insert a tape with the record safety
tab intact before the first programmed time.
10. Press x (STOP) to end timer recording.
Notes:
• If you make a mistake or want to change a set-
ting, use v to select the option and correct it
using b / B.
• If the program preset time is past, the “PAST
TIME PROGRAMMED” message appears on the
TV screen. Return to the incorrect program and
program it with the correct time.
• If you enter a past date, the timer recording will
be performed on that date of the next year.
• If the power fails or the DVD+VCR is unplugged
the clock and timer settings are kept in memory
for only 3 seconds. Otherwise you must reset the
clock and timer.
• If the tape indicator is blinking, no tape is loaded.
• When you are playing DVD at programmed
Recording time, the DVD+VCR automatically
change to VCR mode and start recording.
• The DVD+VCR will automatically power off when
Timer Recording ends.
Checking or Erasing the Timer Program
Programming can be checked whenever the
DVD+VCR is turned on.
1. Press SETUP MENU and the MAIN menu
appears.
2. Use v / V to choose the PROGRAM menu and
press ENTER (OK).
3. Use b / B to select a program you want to check
or erase. To erase the program, press CLEAR
(0000).

Program Priority
If the recording start and end times of preset pro-
grams overlap on the same day (see the example),
the second program is not recorded until the first is
finished.
In this example, the first part of program numbers 2
and 3 are not recorded.
