PROGRAM TIMER RECORDING
The Program Timer switches your VCR on and off to
record a TV program at a preset time. On any occasion,
you can preset a maximum of 8 programs to be recorded
during the next 1-year period.
You can also set any of the 8 time slots to repeatedly
record the same channel at the same time daily (Monday
through Friday) or weekly. Daily and weekly settings are
retained in the timer memory and will continue to cue the
VCR to record as long as tape is available.
During timer programming, you may want to take
advantage of convenient features that give you the option
of saving the title/type of program being recorded (Rec.
List Super, page 25) and having the VCR automatically
set the proper tape speed (Smart Speed Record
Function, page 24).
NOTE:
The clock time must be set before a timer
recording can be programmed.
