VCR Plus+
Timer
Programming
● Before VCR Plus+ Timer programming, see "VCR Plus+
Setup" on page 20.
● Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV
mode).
Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to
automatically record a program which will be broadcast at
some future time.
The timer record function can be programmed using VCR Plus+
or On-Screen Timer Programming. (੬ pg. 48)
During VCR Plus+ 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/DBS/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.)
When Using The Illumi-Guide Feature
● Buttons light or blink on the remote control for
approximately 10 seconds. If the button or buttons extinguish
during timer programming, press ILLUMI GUIDE and the
button or buttons previously lit or blinking come back on. If
the button or buttons do not re-light or start blinking again,
press MENU as many times as necessary to return to the
normal screen and extinguish all illuminated buttons,
and re-perform the timer programming procedure from the
beginning.
● If for some reason the remote control's signal is not received
by the VCR, press MENU as many times as necessary to
return to the normal screen and extinguish all
illuminated buttons, and re-perform the timer programming
procedure from the beginning.
