38 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
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 with the
Controller, CABLE/TV or DBS appears
beside the channel number. 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 at the bottom of the
screen. Press the Number 0 (DBS)
button to select either CABLE/TV or
DBS. Press the button repeatedly to
switch between the CABLE/TV and
DBS settings.
CABLE/TV is to record a cable TV pro-
gram received on the VCR or through
a Cable Box; DBS is to record a satel-
lite program received through a DBS.
