Recording programs

You have three options for recording TV programs:
Manual, Timer, and One touch recording.

Preparing to record a program (manual or timer)

Before you begin recording:

•Turn on the television.
•Set the TV to channel 3 or 4 or to the video input.
•Insert a video cassette (with a safety tab) into the VCR.
•If the VCR indicator is not lit, press 

TV/VCR

.

•If your VCR is connected to:

–  an antenna, set the viewing mode to “ANTENNA.”
–  a cable system, set the viewing mode to “CABLE.”

Manual recording

Watching and recording the same channel

To watch and record the same channel:

1

Be certain to do the steps in the section, “Preparing
to record a program,” above .

2

Use 0-9 or –CH/TRK+ to select the channel number.

3

Press SPEED to select the recording speed.

4

Press REC/OTR to begin recording. The REC
indicator  lights.

•Press STOP to stop the recording.

Watching one channel and recording another

1

Perform steps 1-4 in “Watching and recording the
same channel,” above.

2

Press TV/VCR to switch to TV mode.

3

Use the television’s remote control to select the
television channel you want to watch. The VCR will
continue to record the program.

See “Selecting cable or

antenna viewing. “p.14,
for information on setting
the viewing mode.

Press P/S if you would

like to momentarily stop the
recording. Press REC/OTR to
resume recording. If you do
not press REC within five
minutes of pressing P/S, the
VCR will automatically
release the pause and stop

damage to the tape.

Since the VCR has its

own TV tuner, it is not
necessary to turn on the TV

recording.  Turning on the
TV merely allows
confirmation of proper
channel settings on your
VCR.
