Read and follow the steps below to record a television program.

1 Turn on the TV; set it to channel 3 or 4 (the VCR’s RF output channel). (Press and hold PLAY during tape play for three seconds to switch the VCR’s RF output channel to 3 or 4. Channel 3 is the default setting.)

2 Insert a tape with its record tab intact (see page five) in the VCR. The POWER, VCR/TV, and CST.IN lights will appear. If the VCR/TV light does not appear, press VCR/TV so the VCR/TV light appears.

3 Press SPEED until the desired tape speed (SP or SLP) appears on the screen. The tape speed will disap- pear after about five seconds.

You can change the tape speed while the VCR is recording, but some distortion may appear on the tape. See page 44.

4 Use CH or the Number buttons to select a channel to record.

5 Press REC once to start recording. The red REC(ord) light will appear. If the tape is missing the record tab, the VCR will eject the tape.

To resume recording, press REC or STILL/PAUSE again. The REC(ord) light will stay on.

Helpful Hints

The VCR will record in a preset vol- ume.

Pause will switch to Stop after five minutes to protect the VCR and the tape from damage. Review the pause time remaining with the ■ marks on the screen. Each ■ mark equals one minute. During the last minute of paused record- ing, the ■ mark will flash.

You cannot start a recording if a VCR menu is on the TV screen.

If you used audio and video cables to connect the VCR to the TV as shown on page 10, set the TV to its Video In or Auxiliary In channel instead. See your TV manual for

details.
