comes on and records programs whenever you like - without your being around! You
can record a program one time only, or you can automatically record a show every
weekday or every week at the same time. You can preset as many as 8 timed
recordings at once.
Recording is even easier when you have set up your channels for VCR Plus+. Learn
the basics of delayed recording in this section. Then read about VCR Plus+ beginning
on page 50.
We suggest you try all the different ways of programming the VCR when you have
some leisure time, so you can learn how it works. That way, when an important show
is going to be on that you really want to record, you'll be confident that your timed
recording setup will work.
Types of Delayed Recordings
ONE TIME Records one show at a particular date and time.
DAILY Records a show at the same time every day of the week, Monday
through Friday.
WEEKLY Records a show at the same day and time every week.
Your VCR can record up to 8 programs at different days and times, or up to 8
programs on the same day.
