Basic Operations (Recording)
37
Enter the end time, half past six, as 06:30. The VCR automatically selects PM
for you.
The screen shows today's date, so no changes are needed on that line.
Press 5 to switch to SP because you want the best quality picture for this
recording.
Everything is as you want it, so press PROGRAM to set the program in memory.
Insert a videocassette, and power off the VCR. Check for the delayed recording
indicator on the VCR's display. Prepare to admire yourself on the evening news.
Reviewing What You Have Programmed
You can look back over any of the recordings you have preset, and if you need
to, clear out any of the programs. Normal programs will clear automatically once
recording is complete, but daily and weekly settings must be cleared out
manually.
Press GUIDE, then press 1 for the PROGRAM REVIEW option. This brings up
the screen settings for the first program. Keep pressing 1 to cycle through all the
programs you have preset.
To remove a program, press CLEAR. The screen will display the next program,
if there are more, or it will switch back to regular TV viewing.
Programming Priorities
When you have set up several timed recordings, it may occur that some of their
times overlap. For example, this can happen if you are set up to record shows on
a daily or weekly basis, and a special show comes on that you try to record
during the same time slot.
Shows with Same Starting Time
If the overlapping programs start at the same time, the VCR records in order that
they were programmed. If the shows are all scheduled to start at 7 AM, the VCR
starts with the first program at 7 AM, and switches to what remains of the second
program when the first program is done recording, and so on.
Shows with Different Starting Times
If the programs start at different times, the VCR records the show scheduled to
start earliest, records the entire show, then moves on to the show with the next
earliest starting time.
To avoid recording only bits and pieces of different overlapping shows, review
your programming and delete those shows that are not essential.
