If you connect your VCR to a satellite tuner that has the
Electronic Program Guide, the VCR will turn itself on, record,
then turn itself off. First, read the owner’s manual of your satellite
tuner; then, follow the steps below. Before you begin:
● Use audio and video cables to connect the VCR’s
AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the VCR to the satellite
tuner’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks.
● Press the SPEED button to select the desired recording tape
speed (SP or SLP).
● Set the clock. Details are on pages 16-19.
● Put 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).
