AUTOMATIC TIMER
RECORDING
The VCR's automatic timer lets you program it
to select an input source, start recording from
that source at a time you set, then stop record-
ing at a time you set. You can set up to eight
program timers to record any combination of
weekly, daily, or one-time events.
You can set the VCR to record at any time on a
specific day within a 1-month period, at the
same time Monday through Friday (DAILY), or
at the same time on the same day every week
(WEEKLY).
Notes:
• The VCR can record only one broadcast at
a time. If you program the VCR's timer to
record broadcasts on different channels
that start at the same time, the VCR only
records the program that has the lowest
program number.
• If two timer programs overlap, the one that
starts first has priority. The VCR begins
recording the second program after the
first program ends.
• The VCR must be off at the programmed
time for it to make an automatic timer
recording.
• If there is a power failure of more than 3
minutes during a timer recording, the
recording does not resume after power is
restored.
• If there is a power failure of more than 3
minutes before a programmed start time,
the VCR loses the clock setting and there-
fore does not start automatic timer record-
ing. However, if you have an EDS channel
in your area and set the VCR to automati-
cally set the clock from the EDS signal, the
clock is reset within 10 minutes after power
is restored, and the VCR records at the
programmed time(s).
