Timer Recording

Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using Express
timer programing method as far as a year in advance. Remember,
the clock must be set before you can program the timer.
NOTES:
If all the 8 programs have already been set, "PROGRAM FULL"
or "Full" appears on the TV screen or the display panel.
After timer recording is completed, the VCR turns off
automatically.
You can program the timer recording while a regular recording
is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded.
To timer-record cable or satellite channels, be sure to keep the
cable box or DBS receiver turned on with the correct channel
selected.
Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer
programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other
menu settings are lost. As a result, when the power is supplied
again to this VCR after the power failure, this VCR starts the
Plug&Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and
channel setting. If the clock time and channel setting are
restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start
at its start time unless its end time has elapsed.
