CHANNEL
: Select a TV channel, LINE1 or LINE2. If
you have CABLE TV and use a cable box (convert-
er) you must set the channel to match the cable box
output channel (usually CH 3 or 4). Change chan-
nels on the cable box instead of with the DVD+VCR.
If you use a cable converter, you can program multi-
ple recordings only on the converter box output
channel. This is because the converter determines
what channel you view through your DVD+VCR.
SPEED
: AUTO mode determines how much tape is
left and switches the speed from SP to SLP if it is
necessary to complete recording the program. If this
occurs there could be some picture and sound dis-
tortion at the point where the speed changes.
REPEAT
: To record up to 8 programs on a certain
day of every week select WEEKLY. To record up to
8 programs at the same time Monday through Friday
select DAILY. Otherwise select ONCE.
7. Press VCR MENU and the program is memorized
by the DVD+VCR.

steps 1-7.
9. Ensure you insert a tape with the record safety tab
intact before the first programmed time.
