TV Viewing During a Timer Recording
When the VCR turns on automatically to make a timer recording, it does not disturb whatever program you may be watching at the time. Press the VCR/TV switch to turn on the VCR light if you want to monitor the
recording.
Stopping a Timer Recording in Progress
Press POWER and then press STOP within 10 seconds. (Press POWER once more to turn off the VCR). This erases a Normal program from the timer's memory, but a Daily or Weekly program will record on the next scheduled day.
Timer Recording From the Line Input
It is also possible to timer record from the VCR's Line input. Just enter "91" for the channel. This is particularly convenient if you have a satellite receiver or similar device attached to the VCR's Line input.
