Basic operationS (Recording)
You can set the recording time length, which increases by intervals of 30
minutes, one hour, one and half hours, two hours, three hours, and four
hours, (i.e. 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00) by continually pressing the
REC/IRT button. While you are recording, the time remaining is shown in
the display.
At the end of your recording the display will read "0:00"; recording will then
automatically stop and the VCR will turn itself off.
To stop recording while in the IRT mode, press the POWER button and
then press the STOP button (this can be done either on the VCR or with
the remote control) within 10 seconds.
Setting the VCR to Record Later
With the delayed recording feature, you can set this VCR so that it
automatically 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 40.
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.
