Remember to press 0 before single-digit channel numbers, times, and dates - for
example, 0 and 6 for channel 6.
After you enter the channel and time, the VCR automatically shows the current date or
the next date, whichever is most logical. Leave the date as it comes up, or enter new
digits for the month and day.
You can correct any item entered as you go by pressing the CLEAR button repeatedly
until the digit to be corrected flashes on the screen. Then, punch in the correct number.
Illogical times and dates won't be accepted.
When everything is set as you want (even though some items may still be flashing),
press GUIDE to program your settings into memory.
To preset additional recordings, repeat these steps. Otherwise, press GUIDE to return
to the regular TV screen.
Don't forget to load a videocassette to record on.
Your delayed recording settings take effect when you turn off the power on the VCR.
When the power is off, the delayed recording indicator will display on the VCR. This tells
you that the VCR will automatically record at the times and dates you have
programmed.
Press POWER and then immediately - within 10 seconds - press the STOP
(STOP/EJECT) button (use buttons on the remote or VCR as you wish).
