Basic Operations (Recording) 
40 
 
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 Videocassettes for more about preventing tape erasure.) 
Recording Tips 
To Watch the Same Program While Recording 
To view what you are recording, press VCR/TV so that the VCR is selected - the VCR 
indicator will light up on the VCR's display. You'll want to do this the first few times 
anyway to be sure you're recording what you think you are. 
To Watch One Program While Recording Another 
Once you have set the VCR for recording, press VCR/TV. Now, you will be viewing 
through your TV only. Switch channels using your TV controls or the VCR remote, if it's 
programmed to control your television (see Advanced Operations). 
The recording will continue as set on the VCR. If a preset timed recording starts up 
while you are watching the TV, you'll hear the cassette as it clicks on and see the 
recording indicator light up on the VCR display. 
You can check on the recording by pressing VCR/TV again. This will switch you back to 
viewing through the VCR, you'll see the program you are recording. 
To Skip Commercials 
When a commercial comes on that you don't want to record, simply press PAUSE on 
the remote control. The VCR will stop recording. Press PAUSE again to continue 
recording when you see the commercial is over. If you stay in PAUSE mode for more 
than 5 minutes, the VCR automatically switches to STOP mode to protect the tape. 
To Change the Channel Being Recorded 
Suppose you are recording one program, and you remember that something else is on 
that you would rather record. You can change the channel while in  the recording mode. 
 Press PAUSE to stop the recording temporarily. This is necessary because the 
CHANNEL buttons won't work while you are in recording mode - to keep you from 
accidentally switching the station while recording. 
 Change the channel to the one you prefer. 
 Press PAUSE to continue recording. 
If you want to leave an index mark where you began recording a different show, you 
need to press STOP instead of PAUSE. Then switch stations and press REC to resume 
recording.
