•To ensure that you record the entire desired program, start the recording a few minutes before the start of the program and set the recording stop time a few min- utes after the scheduled end of the pro- gram.
•Be sure the tape length you select for QTR is long enough to record the entire pro- gram. Even though you can set the VCR to record for up to 24 hours, the actual recording time is limited by the tape’s length.
AUTOMATIC TIMER
RECORDING
You can program the VCR’s automatic timer to select a channel, start recording at a selected time, then stop the recording at a selected time.
You can set up to eight program timers to record (on the same or different channels) any combination of events:
•
•Daily (any time at the same time every day,
•Weekly (any time at the same time every week)
Automatic timer recording consists of two steps: setting the program timer and making the automatic timer recording.
Notes:
•You must turn off the VCR for it to make an automatic timer recording.
•Before you start, make sure the VCR’s clock is correctly set (see “Setting the Clock” on Page 22).
