Cable Users: If your cable hookup is via a TV convert-
er box, you can program multiple recordings only on
the converter box output channel. This is because the
converter determines what channel you view through
your DVD+VCR.
Tip

DVD+VCR to record the programs you have entered.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSERTED A TAPE INTO THE
DVD+VCR. The DVD+VCR is now set to record the preset
programs.
Note

outlet, the correct clock time and timer settings are kept in
memory for approximately 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the
clock and program timer must be reset when power is
restored. Reset the clock according to instructions.
After setting a timer recording, it will start if a timer recording
passes over the start time when stopping the playback or
recording.

PLEASE SET THE CLOCK appears for a moment and
then CLOCK menu appears on the TV screen. Set the time
and date before proceeding.
z Make sure a tape is in the DVD+VCR and the safety tab is
