Setting the VCR to record later
Note:
The cassette safety tab must be in place in order to record.
With the delayed recording feature, you can set this VCR so that it automatically turns on and records programs
whenever you like - without your being around! You can record a program one time only, or you can automatically
record a show every weekday or every week at the same time. You can preset as many as 8 timed recordings at
once.
Recording is even easier when have set up your channels for the VCR Plus+ system. Learn the basics of delayed
recording in this section. Then read about the VCR Plus+ system beginning on page 47.
