G-CODE Timer
Programming
Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to automati-
cally record a program which will be broadcast at some future
time.
The timer record function can be programmed using G-CODE
or On-Screen Timer Programming. (੬ pg. 40 or 42)
During G-CODE and on-screen programming, the Illumi-Guide
feature tells you which button on the remote control must be
pressed next by lighting the relevant buttons. The Illumi-Guide
feature is activated by the ILLUMI GUIDE button on the remote
control. The Illumi-Guide feature is only active when the
remote control's TV/CABLE/VCR switch is set to "VCR". (Illumi-
Guide is an optional help feature which makes programming
easier. It is not necessary to use Illumi-Guide to program the
VCR.)
