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.)
Selecting
View Channel
or
Buy Program
will
tune to the program’s
channel without recording. The options available to you will vary
according to the type of program you select.
