Enter the end time, half past six, as 06:30. The VCR automatically selects PM for
you.

recording.

Insert a videocassette, and power off the VCR. Check for the delayed recording
indicator on the VCR's display. Prepare to admire yourself on the evening news.
Reviewing What You Have Programmed
You can look back over any of the recordings you have preset, and if you need to, clear
out any of the programs. Normal programs will clear automatically once recording is
complete, but daily and weekly settings must be cleared out manually.
Press GUIDE, then press 3 for the PROGRAM REVIEW option. This brings up the
screen settings for Program 1. Keep pressing 3 to cycle through all the programs you
have preset.
To remove a program, press CLEAR. The screen will display the next program, if
there are more, or it will switch back to the main menu.
Programming Priorities
When you have set up several timed recordings, it may occur that some of their times
overlap. For example, this can happen if your VCR are set up to record shows on a
daily or weekly basis, and a special show comes on that you try to record during the
same time slot.
The following charts will help you visualize how the VCR prioritizes the preset timed
recordings. The darker portions are program segments that would be recorded.
Shows with Same Starting Time: By Program number
If the overlapping programs start at the same time, the VCR records in order by
program number (1 - 8). If the shows are all scheduled to start at 7 AM, the VCR starts
with program 1 at 7 AM, and switches to what remains of program 2 when program 1 is
done recording, and so on.
Shows with Different Starting Times: By Earliest Program
If the programs start at different times, the VCR records the show scheduled to start
earliest, records the entire show, then moves on to the show with the next earliest
starting time.
