40 Quick Programming

Follow the steps below to program your VCR to record TV pro-
grams while you're away from home. The VCR will turn itself on,
record, and turn itself off automatically.
Before you begin, make sure:
• Channels are programmed. Details are on pages 12-13.
• The clock is set. Details are on pages 14-18. If the clock is not set,
CLOCK MUST BE SET appears on the screen, followed by the
main VCR menu.
• There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape's record tab is
intact and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).
• The VCR is in VCR position. The VCR light will appear on the dis-
play panel when the VCR is in VCR position. If the VCR light does
not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.
• When you use a Cable Box/DBS, timer recordings are pro-
grammed differently. Read pages 8-9 before proceeding.
Complete each step within 60 seconds of the previous step.

Helpful Hint
• If you are using a DBS and have set
up the Controller, CABLE/TV or DBS
may appear beside the channel num-
ber. You may need to clarify whether
the desired channel is for Cable TV or
Satellite TV (DBS). If so, "CABLE/TV
OR DBS: 0" will appear near the bot-
tom of the screen. Press the Number 0
(DBS) button repeatedly to select
either CABLE/TV or DBS.
Select DBS only if you have connected
a DBS to the VCR. For all other con-
nections, select CABLE/TV.
