Basic Operati°ns(Rec°rding)

If using a cable box the VCR cannot control, turn on the cable box and tune it to the channel you want to record before the time the recording is to begin.

Reviewing What You Have Programmed

You can look back over any of the recordings you have preset, and if you need to, clear out any of the programs. Normal programs will clear automatically once recording is complete, but daily and weekly settings must be cleared out manually.

Press GUIDE, then press 3 for the PROGRAM REVIEW option. This brings up the screen settings for the first program. Keep pressing 3 to cycle through all the programs you have preset.

To remove a program, press CLEAR. The screen will display the next program, if there are more, or it will switch back to the main menu.

Programming Priorities

When you have set up several timed recordings, it may occur that some of their times overlap. For example, this can happen if you are set up to record shows on a daily or weekly basis, and a special show comes on that you try to record during the same time slot.

Shows with Same Starting Time

If the overlapping programs start at the same time, the VCR records in order that they were programmed. If the shows are all scheduled to start at 7 AM, the VCR starts with the first program at 7 AM, and switches to what remains of the second program when the first program is done recording, and so on.

Shows with Different Starting Times

If the programs start at different times, the VCR records the show scheduled to start earliest, records the entire show, then moves on to the

show with the next earliest starting time.

To avoid recording only bits and pieces of different overlapping shows, review your programming and delete those shows that are not essential.
