Timer Recordings; Setting Up Timer Recordings To Record Programs Automatically - RCA DRC8060N User Manual

Watching one channel while you record another channel (cable with no cable box or off-air antenna only)
If you want to watch another channel while you're recording, you need to make sure you've connected an RF coaxial cable to the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT jack on
DVD recorder and TV's corresponding Cable/Antenna Input jack.
1. Make sure the DVD recorder and the TV are on. Tune the TV to the appropriate Video Input Channel (if you need help, go to page 19).
2. Using the DVD recorder's channel buttons, tune to the program you want to record. Press the RECORD button.
3. If the remote that came with your DVD recorder operates your TV, just press the TV button and use the channel up and down buttons to change the channel on the TV.
If the remote doesn't operate your TV, use the TV's remote control to change channels.
4. When you're fi nished recording, remember to turn the TV back to its Video Input Channel and watch TV through the DVD recorder.
Notes:
This feature might work differently if you receive programming via a cable box (a different connection may be required. See page 10 for more information). If you
receive programming via a satellite receiver or digital cable box, this feature isn't available—you can't record one satellite or digital cable program and watch
another satellite or digital cable program.
The remote that came with your DVD recorder is a programmable Universal remote that can be programmed to operate many brands and models of TVs. Go to
page 22 if you want to program the remote.
When you stop recording, a delay may occur while the DVD recorder generates information about the recording for the Disc Library.
