Basic operationS (Recording)

You can set the recording time length, which increases by intervals of 30 minutes, one hour, one and half hours, two hours, three hours, and four hours, (i.e. 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00) by continually pressing the REC/IRT button. While you are recording, the time remaining is shown in the display.

At the end of your recording the display will read "0:00"; recording will then automatically stop and the VCR will turn itself off.

To stop recording while in the IRT mode, press the POWER button and then press the STOP button (this can be done either on the VCR or with the remote control) within 10 seconds.

Setting the VCR to Record Later

With the delayed recording feature, you can set this VCR so that it automatically comes on and records programs whenever you like - without your being around! You can record a program one time only, or you can automatically record a show every weekday or every week at the same time. You can preset as many as 8 timed recordings at once.

Recording is even easier when you have set up your channels for VCR Plus+. Learn the basics of delayed recording in this section. Then read about VCR Plus+ beginning on page 40.

We suggest you try all the different ways of programming the VCR when you have some leisure time, so you can learn how it works. That way, when an important show is going to be on that you really want to record, you'll be confident that your timed recording setup will work.
