• If you are using a cable box, be sure to
leave the cable box turned on and tuned to
the desired station before the timer pro-
gram starts.
Timer Recording Hints
• If there is a power failure or the TV/VCR is
unplugged for more than 60 seconds, the
clock setting and all timer settings are
cleared.
• The TV/VCR can record only one broad-
cast at a time. If you program the TV/VCR’s
timer to record broadcasts on different
channels that start at the same time, the
TV/VCR records the broadcast with the
lowest program number.
• If automatic timers overlap, the one that
starts first has priority. When the first pro-
gram ends, the TV/VCR switches to record
the remainder of the second program.

DUBBING (COPYING) A TAPE
The process of recording from one audio/video
device to another is called
dubbing.
You can connect a VCR, camcorder, satellite re-
ceiver, or other device with audio and video out-
puts to the TV/VCR (see “Connecting an
External Device” on Page 10), then use your TV/
VCR to record the signal from the dubbing
source.
Note: For the best results while dubbing, hold
the remote control close to the TV/VCR’s infra-
red window when you press a button. Other-
wise, the remote control might affect the
dubbing source’s operation.
1. Insert a blank cassette, or one that you
want to record over, into the cassette com-
partment. The TV/VCR turns on.
2. Press MENU to display the main menu,
repeatedly press SEL or SEL to select
TV , then press SET . The SET UP TV
screen appears.
