remote control or on the front panel.
4 Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel number is
shown on-screen or on the front panel display. If L1 or L2 appears instead of a
channel number, continue to press INPUT until a channel number appears. To

number with the PRIMESTAR light ( ) appears on the front panel display.
5 Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL or the number

cable box that the VCR cannot control, select channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and
change the channel on the cable box, not on the VCR.

Recording will start. When the VCR reaches the end of the tape, it will automati-
cally rewind to the beginning of the tape and stop.
• You can stop recording at any time by pressing STOP or PAUSE on the remote
or on the front panel.
• To resume recording from STOP, press REC.
• To resume recording from PAUSE, press PAUSE.
You cannot use REC/˙REC LENGTH on the front panel to resume recording
from PAUSE.
IMPORTANT
If you pause the VCR for more than five minutes, recording will stop
automatically to protect the tape.
If you record in extended play (EP), you will only be able to play the tape on
a VCR equipped for EP play, such as this one.
