Follow the steps below to program your VCR to record TV pro-
grams while you’re away from home. You can program up to eight
timer recordings. For each one, the VCR will turn itself on,
record, and turn itself off automatically.
Before you begin make sure:
• Channels are programmed. Details are on page 12.
• The clock is set. Details are on pages 14 - 17.
• There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is
intact and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).
• The VCR is in VCR position. The VCR light will appear on the
display panel of the VCR when the VCR is in VCR position. If
the VCR light does not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.
• When you use a Cable Box or DSS Receiver, timer recordings
are programmed differently. Please read the information on
pages eight - nine before proceeding.
Complete each step within 60 seconds of completing the
previous step. If you don’t, you may start again at step 1.
