You set up the delayed recording using the on-screen Easy Guide System. Press the PROGRAM button, then press number buttons 1, 2 or 3 for ONE

to complete the programming.

Remember to press 0 before single-digit channel numbers, times, and dates - for example, 0 and 6 for channel 6.

After you enter the channel and time, the VCR automatically shows the current date or the next date, whichever is most logical. Leave the date as it comes up, or enter new digits for the month and day.

If you make a mistake when entering digits, press CLEAR repeatedly to return the white dash "--" to the digit to be corrected. Then, punch in the correct number. Illogical times and dates won't be accepted.

If you want to record from external equipment, press AVX button to select LINE1 or LINE2 instead of the channel number.

When everything is set as you want (even though white dashes "--" may still appear on some items), press PROGRAM to program your settings into memory.

To preset additional recordings, repeat these steps.

Don't forget to load a videocassette to record on.

Your delayed recording settings take effect when you turn off the power on the VCR.

When the power is off, the delayed recording indicator will display on the VCR. This tells you that the VCR will automatically record at the times and dates you have programmed.
