Helpful Hints

•You cannot access the TIMER PROGRAMMING menu at step 2 if the clock is not set. The CLOCK SET menu will appear. Follow the steps on pages 28-29 to set the clock.

•Only programs that will air Monday- Friday can be recorded on a DAILY basis. If you select DAILY at step 4, then enter a Saturday or Sunday DATE at step 5, the correct pro- gram will not be recorded. The VCR will alter the recording date and record a different program than the one you intended.
