Recording TV programmes using the ShowView system
Recording TV programmes using the
ShowView system
The ShowView system is the feature that
simplifies programming the VCR to make
timer recording. Just enter the ShowView
number listed in the TV programme guide.
The date, times, and programme position of
that programme are set automatically. You
can preset up to eight programmes at a time.
Before you start
…
• Check that the VCR clock is set to the
correct time and date.
• Insert a tape with its safety tab in place.
Make sure the tape is longer than the total
recording time.
• Turn on your TV and set it to the video
channel.
• If you insert a tape with the SmartFile
function, make sure the total recording
time doesn’t overlap the protected
programme. For details about the
SmartFile function, see page 78.
• Set TIMER OPTIONS to SHOWVIEW or
VARY in the OTHER OPTIONS menu
(see page 73).
