Timer Recording
Follow the steps below to program
your VCR to record TV programs
while you're away from home. You
can program up to eight timer record-
ings. For each one, the VCR will turn
itself on, record, and turn itself off
automatically. Before you begin make
sure:
• Channels have been programmed.
• The clock has been set.
• There is a tape in the VCR. Make
sure the tape's record tab is intact
and the tape is long enough to record
the program(s).
• The VCR is in VCR position.
You must do each step within 60 sec-
onds of completing the previous step.
If you don't, you will have to start
again at step 1.
