Recording a Program
Before you Record
The VCR must be hooked up properly for recording. See the Simple Hookups at the beginning of this
manual.
Make sure you are familiar with the Easy Guide System for on-screen programming (page 19) and the
basics about videocassettes and VCR safety.

Basic Recording Steps
1. Load the videocassette into the VCR. The power comes on automatically when the tape is fully
inserted.
2. Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4. Or, if you are hooked up with a direct audio/video cable, set the TV to
AUX or VIDEO.
3. Press TAPE SPEED on the remote control to select SP (standard play, for the best picture quality) or
EP (extended play, for longest recording time on a single tape). An indicator on the VCR's display shows
which speed is active.
4. Set the VCR to the channel you want to record from. Use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to flip
through the channels, or use the number buttons to go directly to the channel you want.
5. To begin recording, press REC and PLAY on the remote control at the same time or REC/IRT on the
VCR. Start recording at least 10 seconds before the program starts, to make sure you catch the
beginning frames.
Recording will start unless the cassette is protected with the safety tab. If this tab has been removed, the
VCR will eject the tape to prevent recording over what is there. (See About Videocassette Tapes for more
about preventing tape erasure.)
