Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using VCR Plus+ timer programing or Express timer programing method as far as a year in advance. Remember, the clock must be set before you can program the timer.

Watching one program while recording another
During recording� � If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF connection to view pictures from the VCR, press TV/VCR on the Remote so that VCR mode indicator goes off from the display panel. (The TV broadcast being recorded disappears.) � If you are using the AV connection to view pictures from the VCR, change the TV�s input mode from AV to TV. Then, select the channel you want to watch, on the TV.

� If all the 8 programs have already been set, �PROGRAM FULL� or �Full� appears on the TV screen or the display panel. � 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, be sure to keep the cable box or DBS receiver turned on with the correct channel selected. � 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.

Second Audio Recording (HR-VP59U only)
This VCR�s built-in MTS decoder enables reception of Multichannel TV Sound broadcast. To record a SAP program received, set �2ND AUDIO RECORD� to �ON�.

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.
