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
timers to record any combination of daily,
weekly, 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 set the VCR’s timer to record
broadcasts on different channels that start
at the same time, the VCR only records the
broadcast that has the lowest timer num-
ber (see “Checking/Changing Timers” on
Page 37).
• If two timer settings overlap, the one that
starts first has priority. The VCR begins
recording the second broadcast after the
set time for the first broadcast is over.
• The VCR must be off at the start time you
set for it to begin an automatic timer
recording.
• If there is a power failure of more than 1
minute during a timer recording, the
recording does not resume after power is
restored.
• If there is a power failure of more than 1
minute before a start time, the VCR loses
the clock setting and therefore does not
start automatic timer recording. However, if
you have an EDS channel in your area and
set the VCR to automatically set the clock
from the EDS signal, the clock is reset
within 10 minutes after power is restored,
and the VCR records at the set time(s).
