Channel: Select a TV channel, LINE1 or LINE2. If you have CABLE TV and use a cable box (converter) you must set the channel to match the cable box output channel (usually CH 3 or 4). Change channels on the cable box instead of with the DVD+VCR. If you use a cable converter, you can program multiple 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 distortion 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. Checking or Erasing the Timer Program Programming can be checked whenever the DVD+VCR is turned on. 1. Press SETUP MENU and the MAIN menu appears. 2. Use v / V to choose the PROGRAM menu and press ENTER / OK. 3. Use b / B to select a program you want to check or erase. To erase the program, press CLEAR (0000). 4. Press SETUP MENU to return to the TV screen. 7. Press SETUP MENU and the program is memorized by the DVD+VCR. 8. Additional programs may be entered by repeating steps 1-7. 9. Ensure you insert a tape with the record safety tab intact before the first programmed time. 10. Press STOP (x) to end timer recording. Notes: • If you make a mistake or want to change a setting, use v to select the option and correct it using b / B. • If the program preset time is past, the "PAST TIME PROGRAMMED" message appears on the TV screen. Return to the incorrect program and program it with the correct time. • If you enter a past date, the timer recording will be performed on that date of the next year. • If the power fails or the DVD+VCR is unplugged the clock and timer settings are kept in memory for only 3 seconds. Otherwise you must reset the clock and timer. • If the tape indicator is blinking, no tape is loaded. • When you are playing DVD at programmed Recording time, the DVD+VCR automatically change to VCR mode and start recording. • The DVD+VCR will automatically power off when Timer Recording ends. Program Priority If the recording start and end times of preset programs overlap on the same day (see the example), the second program is not recorded until the first is finished. In this example, the first part of program numbers 2 and 3 are not recorded. Operation 23
