TIMER RECORDING 
 
AUTOMATIC TIMER RECORDING 
You may set the VCR to start and end a recording while you are away. You can set seven programs to 
record on specific days, daily or weekly within a 1 year period. 
In the example below, the timer is being set to record: 
DATE: 
  May 
4th, 
2000 
SETTING TIME:  
from 7:30PM to 8:30PM 
CHANNEL:  
 
CH16 
TAPE SPEED:    
SP 
PROGRAM NO:   
No. 1 
· Please refer to the connection you are using, through pages 10, 11, or 12 on "ANTENNA/CABLE 
CONNECTIONS" before continuing. 
•Use the remote control for this  procedure.  
 
•  Be sure to check that the "PWR." and the "VCR" indicators are both on to program it. 
• Turn on the TV and set the TV to channel  3 or 4.  Now set the CH3/CH4 switch on the back of the VCR 
to match the channel selected on the TV. 
.  
 
• Clock must be set to the correct time and date before setting the timer. 
• Insert a cassette tape with its erase prevention tab in place. (If necessary, rewind or fast forward the tape 
to the point at which you want to begin recording.) 
Avoid overlap of programs ... 
There is a case that a program will not be performed.  
When programs overlap: 
• The program with an earlier start time has priority. 
• Once the earlier program finishes, the overlapping programs will begin recording in sequence. 
• The illustration below demonstrates the sequence of recordings.
