The ShowView system is the feature that simplifies programming the VCR to make timer recordings. Just enter the ShowView number listed in the TV programme guide.

Before you start

Check that the VCR clock is set to the correct time and date.

Insert a tape with its safety tab in place. Make sure the tape is longer than the total recording time.
