Timer Recording
The timer recording function lets you preset your VCR to
record up to eight programs within a one-month period.
You’ll do this procedure from the TIMER SET/CHECK
display on your TV. As a First Step
Before setting the timer, make sure that:
• The time and date clock is set correctly.
If you intend to put the VCR into timer-activated recording
mode without having preset the time and date, the VCR
will enter clock setting mode automatically.
(See “Setting the Time and Date" on page 19).
• The cassette is long enough to record all the programs.
• The safety tab on the cassette is intact. If you insert a
cassette with no safety tab and press TIMER REC
(ON/OFF), the cassette automatically ejects from the
VCR.
• The VCR and TV are both turned on. (TV can be turned off
after you’ve set up the VCR.)
• When you use a cable box, use Hook up 2 and set the
CABLE BOX CONTROL (See “Setting the CABLE BOX
CONTROL’’ on page 25.) Turn the cable box on.
