Recording TV programmes using the ShowView system

The ShowView system is the feature that simplifies programming the VCR to make timer recording. Just enter the ShowView number listed in the TV programme guide. The date, times, and programme position of that programme are set automatically. You can preset up to eight programmes at a time.

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.

Turn on your TV and set it to the video channel.

If you insert a tape with the SmartFile function, make sure the total recording time doesn’t overlap the protected programme. For details about the SmartFile function, see page 78.

Set TIMER OPTIONS to SHOWVIEW or VARY in the OTHER OPTIONS menu (see page 73).
