TIMER RECORDING
Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to automatically record a program which will be broadcast at some future time. The timer record function can be programmed using G-CODE or On-Screen Timer Programming. ( pg. 40 or 42)
G-CODE Timer Programming
� Before G-CODE Timer programming, see "G-CODE Setup" on page 16. � Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode).
During G-CODE and on-screen programming, the Illumi-Guide feature tells you which button on the remote control must be pressed next by lighting the relevant buttons. The Illumi-Guide feature is activated by the ILLUMI GUIDE button on the remote control. The Illumi-Guide feature is only active when the remote control's TV/CABLE/VCR switch is set to "VCR". (IllumiGuide is an optional help feature which makes programming easier. It is not necessary to use Illumi-Guide to program the VCR.)

When Using The Illumi-Guide Feature
� Buttons light or blink on the remote control for approximately 10 seconds. If the button or buttons extinguish during timer programming, press ILLUMI GUIDE and the button or buttons previously lit or blinking come back on. If the button or buttons do not re-light or start blinking again, press MENU as many times as necessary to return to the normal screen and extinguish all illuminated buttons, and re-perform the timer programming procedure from the beginning. � If for some reason the remote control's signal is not received by the VCR, press MENU as many times as necessary to return to the normal screen and extinguish all illuminated buttons, and re-perform the timer programming procedure from the beginning.
� To make corrections, press CANCEL and input the correct G-CODE number. � If the G-CODE number you input is incorrect, "ERROR" may appear on the screen to advise you of the error. This happens when the G-CODE number is for a program which has already passed. "ERROR" is displayed for about 4 seconds and the G-CODE screen reappears (step 2). � If you are using the Illumi-Guide feature, OK blinks when the following buttons are lit: NUMBER keys (0 � 9), PUSH JOG, CANCEL and MENU.
