different programs within a one year period. Before setting the timer, make sure that:
• The clock is set correctly.
• A tape with safety tab has been inserted with enough tape to record the programs.
• The remote is set to control the VCR — using
VCR1 (VCR2•LD)
.
• If you receive all channels through a cable box or RCA DSS® satellite receiver, setup
the cable box or RCA DSS® satellite receiver on pages 11-12.
