If using a cable box the VCR cannot control, turn on the cable box and tune it to the
channel you want to record before the time the recording is to begin.
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 the first program. 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 you 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.
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.
To avoid recording only bits and pieces of different overlapping shows, review your
programming and delete those shows that are not essential.
