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.

Your VCR can record up to 8 programs at different days and times, or up to 8 programs on the
same day.
Before You Begin
Assemble the information you need for timed recording:
n Be sure that the clock is set to the correct time.
n Date and day of the program
n Starting time
n Ending time
n Channel to be recorded
n Blank or erasable videocassette (safety tab intact)
Delayed Recording Steps
You set up the delayed recording using the on-screen Easy Guide System.
n Press the MENU, then press 2 for DELAYED RECORDING. Press number buttons 1, 2 or 3
for ONE TIME, DAILY, or WEEKLY RECORDING. Follow the flashing instructions on screen
to complete the programming.
Remember to press 0 before single-digit channel numbers, times, and dates – for example, 0 and
6 for channel 6.
After you enter the channel and time, the VCR automatically shows the current date or the next
date, whichever is most logical. Leave the date as it comes up, or enter new digits for the month
and day.
n You can correct any item entered as you go by pressing the CLEAR button repeatedly until the
digit to be corrected flashes on the screen. Then, punch in the correct number. Illogical times and
dates won't be accepted.
n If you want to record from an external equipment, press AVX button to select LINE1 or
LINE2 instead of the channel number.
n When everything is set as you want (even though some items may still be flashing), press
MENU to program your settings into memory.
n To preset additional recordings, repeat these steps. Otherwise, press MENU to return to the
regular TV screen.
n Don't forget to load a videocassette to record on.
n Your delayed recording settings take effect when you turn off the power on the VCR.
When the power is off, the delayed recording indicator will display on the VCR. This tells you
that the VCR will automatically record at the times and dates you have programmed.
To Stop a Delayed Recording in Progress
Press POWER and then immediately – within 10 seconds – press the STOP button (use buttons
on the remote or VCR as you wish).
