Recording TV programmes using the Easy Timer function

The Easy Timer function allows you to make a timer recording of a programme without turning on your TV. Set the recording timer to record only one programme that will be broadcast within the next 24 hours using the Easy Timer knob. If the VCR clock has not been set, you can also set the clock before setting the timer recording.
