Recording with a Timer
If you choose Record instead of Watch when setting a Timer (and have
set up your VCR as previously discussed), the Timer will turn on your
VCR, then start and stop recording a program.
To record with timers:
•
Your VCR must be tuned to channel 3 or 4 (if the VCR is connected
with just coaxial cables), or to the video input channel (if the VCR is
connected with audio/video cables).
•
You must turn your VCR off prior to the scheduled recording time.
•
You must have a recordable tape in the VCR.
Schedule a Timer with the RECORD Button
You can schedule a recording directly from the guide.
1.
With a program highlighted, press the RECORD button on the
remote control. The Program Details screen appears.
The choices available to you will differ depending on the
nature of the selected program: PPV or non PPV.
2.
To schedule a timer to record, select:
•
Record Program to set a timer to record the program, or
•
Buy and Record to purchase the program and set up a timer to
record the program. (Programs bought to be recorded may have a
different purchase price than those bought for viewing only.)
