clicks on and see the recording indicator light up on the VCR display.

You can check on the recording by pressing VCRiTV again. This will switch you back to viewing through the VCR, you'll see the program you are recording.

To Skip Commercials

When a commercial comes on that you don't want to record, simply press PAUSE on the remote control. The VCR will stop recording. Press PAUSE again to continue recording when you see the commercial is over. If you stay in PAUSE mode for more than 5 minutes, the VCR automatically switches to STOP mode to protect the tape.

To Change the Channel Being Recorded

Suppose you are recording one program, and you remember that something else is on that you would rather record. You can change the channel while in the recording mode.

Press PAUSE to stop the recording temporarily. This is necessary because the CHANNEL buttons won't work while you are in recording mode - to keep you from accidentally switching the station while recording.

Change the channel to the one you prefer. Press PAUSE to continue recording.

To Leave Index Marks on the Tape

This feature is useful when you are recording several programs on the same tape. It helps you quickly find the beginnings of the shows during playback (page 32).

You create the index "mark" every time you begin recording by pressing REC. To leave an index mark between shows, simply press STOP at the end of each show, then press REC to record the next show. (Pressing PAUSE during recording does not leave an index mark.)

During timed recordings, the VCR automatically inserts an index mark at the beginning of the recording.

To Record a Second Audio Program (SAP)

Some stations transmit a Second Audio Program - such as in a second language. If a station broadcasts in SAP, the SA indicator will Display on your TV screen.

You can set the VCR to record a second audio program by activating the SAP option through the Easy Guide System.

Press GUIDE, then press 5 to bring up the Initial Setup screen. Press 6 to set the SAP option to ON.

Make sure that STEREO/MONO selection is set to STEREO. When this is set, the VCR records the second audio program.

Using the Instant Recording Timer (IRT)

The Instant Recording Timer (REC/IRT button on the VCR) will let you make a simplified timer recording without having to use the programming timer. In order to set the IRT properly the clock must be set before starting.

Follow the steps 1 through 5 on "Basic Recording Steps" on page 33.

After the recording has started, press the REC/IRT button again to indicate the recording time on the display.
