NOTES:

� If all the 8 programs have already been set, �PROGRAM FULL� appears on the TV screen. � After timer recording is completed, the VCR turns off automatically. � You can program the timer recording while a regular recording is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded. � To timer-record cable or satellite channels, perform �Cable Box and/or DBS Receiver Control Setting� ( pg. 7) and be sure to keep the cable box or DBS receiver turned on. � Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other menu settings are lost. As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, this VCR starts the Plug&Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and channel setting. If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start at its start time unless its end time has elapsed. � If the tape reaches its end during timer recording, the recording stops and �#�, � � and � $� on the display panel blink. Press TIMER to disengage timer, then press STOP/EJECT (0) on the VCR to eject the cassette or press POWER 1 then press REW (3) on the Remote to rewind the tape.

Changing VCR Plus+® Setting
The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide channel to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the guide channel numbers assigned to each station. To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ �Guide Channel Set� for each station. If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station�s channel number has been changed, perform the following steps to set the correct guide channel number.

Pressing the button again makes the �DAILY� or �WEEKLY� display disappear. � If you made a mistake, press CANCEL to access the PlusCode No. screen again. � If an incorrect PlusCode number or the one for a broadcast already finished has been inputted, �ERROR� is displayed for about 5 seconds, then the PlusCode No. screen reappears.
