Timer Recording
You can set up to 8 different TV programs to be recorded. Before a Timer Recording will work, the VCR needs to be set
up correctly.
• VCR’s clock must be set correctly.
• If you’ve set up the VCR for a cable box for all channels, the output of your cable box appears in the channel item
of the Timer Recordings menu.
• PROGRAMS OVERLAP appears if two programs whose times overlap are entered.
• The timer indicator appears in the display when you turn off the VCR and a timer recording has been set. The timer
indicator flashes if there is no tape in the VCR when a timer recording has been set and the unit is turned off.
• For a cable box or satellite receiver, turn it on and tune it to the channel you want to record before the recording is
to begin.
• Insert a tape with its safety tab in place and enough tape to record the program.
