Using your TELUS TV service
Recording TELUS TV with VCR Timer function:
If you are using Coax cables, refer to steps 1-11 in Option 1:
Recording TV with a VCR connected with Coax cables
(see page 23).
If you are using audio/video cables to your TV, refer to steps
1-10 in Option 2: Recording TV with a VCR connected
with audio/video (composite) cables (see page 23).
1. Consult your VCR instruction manual on how to use
the Timer function as this varies with manufacturers.
2. Ensure the date and time are correct on your VCR
before you program it.
3. Put a blank tape into the VCR. If you are using an old
tape, rewind it to the beginning and check that the
erase-prevention tab is still present. If it has broken
off, you can't record.
4. Timer scheduling – Set the VCR Timer to start recording
a few minutes before the start and after the end of
the show, just in case the clock on your VCR is a few
minutes off. If you are going to record a sports event that
goes into overtime, program additional time at the end.
5. Timer channel – Set your VCR to record on the correct
Video input channel (if using audio/video cables) or
channel 3 or 4 (if using Coax cables), not the channel
that the program is broadcasting on.
NOTE: This is the channel you watch TELUS TV on, NOT the TELUS TV
Interactive Program Guide channel.
6. If you are recording different TELUS TV channels,
for example, Program 1 at 11:00 on Channel A, then
Program 2 at 11:30 on Channel B, you must use
the TELUS TV AUTOTUNE function. The TELUS TV
AUTOTUNE function automatically changes the channel
to the program when it begins (you must set up the
AUTOTUNE function first). Combined with your Timer
function, this allows you to tune to different programs
while recording with your VCR. For more details on
AUTOTUNE, please see page 22.
7. You can now turn your TV off, but do not turn off your
TELUS TV digital box.
®
NOTE: VCR Plus
and other products that automatically tune your VCR to
record are not supported by TELUS TV. All tuning must be done on TELUS
TV and your VCR must always be set on the correct video input channel or
channel 3 or 4 to record by VCR.
