30 Timer Recording

Follow the steps below to program your VCR to record TV pro- grams while you’re away from home. You can program up to eight timer recordings. For each one, the VCR will turn itself on, record, and turn itself off automatically.

If you are using a Cable Box, timer recordings may be pro- grammed differently. Read pages eight-nine before proceeding. Before you begin make sure:

●Channels are programmed.

●The clock is set.

●There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is intact and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).

●The VCR light appears on the display panel of the VCR. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.

Complete each step within 60 seconds of completing the previous step. If you don’t, start again at step 1.
