Basic Operations

Setting the timer manually

If the ShowView system is not available in your area, follow the instructions below to set the timer to record programmes.

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.

To record from a decoder, turn it on.

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 STANDARD or VARY in the OTHER OPTIONS menu (see page 73).
