Basic Recording Steps
1. Load the videocassette into the VCR. The power comes on automatically when the
tape is fully inserted.
2. Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4. Or, if you are hooked up with a direct audio/video
cable, set the TV to AUX or VIDEO.
3. Press TAPE SPEED on the remote control to select SP (standard play, for the best
picture quality) or EP (extended play, for longest recording time on a single tape). An
indicator on the VCR's display shows which speed is active.
4. Set the VCR to the channel you want to record from. Use the up and down
CHANNEL buttons to flip through the channels, or use the number buttons to go directly
to the channel you want.
5. To begin recording, press REC and PLAY on the remote control at the same time or
REC/IRT on the VCR. Start recording at least 10 seconds before the program starts, to
make sure you catch the beginning frames.
