Recording a TV Program

Tip:

If you have a cable converter box, see the Advanced Cable Converter Box Hookup in the Hooking Up Your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR section of the Reference Guide for instructions on recording from one channel while watching another.

You can record TV shows onto a VHS tape with your 8mm/ VHS Dual-Deck VCR.

1.	Insert a blank VHS tape. Make sure it is long enough to
	tape the whole program. You can change the length of
	the VHS tape by changing the RECORD SPEED in the
	VHS MENU (LP doubles the recording time relative to
	SP; SLP triples the recording time relative to SP).
2.	On the Dual-Deck VCR (or cable converter box if you
	have one), select the channel that you want to record.
3.	Press the REC key to begin recording!

If you have changed RECORD SOURCE in the VHS Menu to anything other than AUTO, pressing REC will not automati- cally record what is on your TV screen. You will need to set the RECORD SOURCE to AUTO or to TUNER to record from the TV.

While you are recording the TV show, you can:

•Pause the recording by pressing PAUSE , and start record- ing again by pressing REC .

•Use One-Touch Recording to record in 30 minute incre-

ments. Each time you press REC after the first time, you add another 30 minutes to the record time. For example, if you press REC three times, the VCR will record for 60 minutes. The total duration will show on the On-Screen Display. Your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR will automati- cally stop recording after the One-Touch Record timer has expired.

•	Watch an 8mm tape in playback by pressing	8mm	in the
	TV View section of your remote control.
•	Watch a different channel by pressing TV/VCR , then using
	your TV’s tuner to select the new channel.
• Watch satellite TV through Line 1 or Line 2.
• Watch another Tuner or VCR or other video equipment
	through Line 1 or Line 2.
