display will cycle back to the first page after the
last page is reached.

If your VCR is not on the list, use a “Standard steps”
selection
. For time settings which are a multiple of 12 hours
(2, 12, 24, etc.), use the Standard 12 Hour steps.  If time
settings are a multiple of 24 hours (2, 24, 48, etc.), use the
Standard 24 Hour steps.  If your VCR settings do not
correspond with the either the 12 or 24 Hour Standard steps,
refer to the section “What to do if your VCR is not on the supported list” (page 22).
