RECORDING A PROGRAM TO YOUR VCR

Because recorded programs will eventually be erased from your receiver’s hard drive to make room for more recordings, you might want to record a show onto videotape so you can keep it in your video collection.

Before you record a program to your VCR, you must make sure the VCR is properly connected to your receiver, as described in the Setup Guide. The Setup Guide also shows you how to connect the VCR Control cable, which enables the receiver to send programming signals to the VCR.

In addition, you must set up your receiver to record programs on the VCR.

To set up your receiver to record to the VCR:

1From TV Home, select Settings at the bottom of the screen and press OK. The Settings screen appears.
