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 51.
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.
