Programming the Timer
The programmable clock/timer permits unattended
recording of up to tour different TV programs. The timer is
actually a small computer which will turn on the VCR at
the time you select, record for a selected length of time,
and then turn off the VCR ... all automatically without you
being there.
-You can program the timer to do the following:-------------------------
Record a program on a single day up to one year away.
[NORMAL PROGRAM]
Record a program at the same time Monday thru Fri­
day. [DAILY PROGRAM]
Record a program on one certain day of every week.
[WEEKLY PROGRAM]
-Things to know before you start:-
You can program the timer up to one year before the
TV program is to be recorded.
You can correct an error in the program any time
before the last step by pressing CLEAR repeatedly until
the digit to be corrected is flashing. Then enter the cor­
rect digit and continue the programming sequence.
I Turn on the TV and tune it to the VCR channel
[i] (channel 3 or 4) so you'll be able to see the
programming display on the TV screen.
Make sure the VCR's clock is set to the
correct time. The timer cannot record at the
right time if the clock is set incorrectly. Reset
the clock if necessary.
