Recording TV programs using the G-CODE
system
The G-CODE system allows you to simplify the task of program-
ming your video TV to make recordings with the timer. Whenever
you want to record a TV program, all you need to do is look up the
program’s G-CODE number, a number assigned to each program
published in the TV section of most newspapers and cable TV
listings. Then, just enter the tape speed, sound mode, and the G-
CODE number of the program that you want and the video TV is
automatically programmed to record that show.
Setting up the G-CODE system
Setting up your video TV involves coordinating the program
number (the number you turn to on your video TV to watch a
program) with the guide channel number (the number that’s
assigned to that channel in your program guide). For a listing of the
guide channel numbers, look in a program guide for your area that
features G-CODE numbers.
Before you begin
• When the TV is in standby mode (the 1 indicator on the video TV
is lit in red), press ?/1 , PROGR +/– or a number button on the
remote control.
