Operation with tape (Continued)
CHANNEL: Select a TV channel, LINE1 or LINE2. If you have CABLE TV and use a cable box (convert- er) you must set the channel to match the cable box output channel (usually CH 3 or 4). Change chan- nels on the cable box instead of with the DVD+VCR. If you use a cable converter, you can program multi- ple recordings only on the converter box output channel. This is because the converter determines what channel you view through your DVD+VCR.
SPEED: AUTO mode determines how much tape is left and switches the speed from SP to SLP if it is necessary to complete recording the program. If this occurs there could be some picture and sound dis- tortion at the point where the speed changes.
REPEAT: To record up to 8 programs on a certain day of every week select WEEKLY. To record up to
8 programs at the same time Monday through Friday select DAILY. Otherwise select ONCE.
