[. . . ] To begin recording, press REC on the remote control or REC/IRT on the VCR. Recording will start unless the cassette is protected with the safety tab. If this tab has been removed, the VCR will eject the tape to prevent recording over what is there. Recording Tips To Watch the Same Program While Recording To view what you are recording, press VCR/TV so that the VCR is selected--the VCR indicator will light up on the VCR's display. You'll want to do this the first few times anyway to be sure you're recording what you think you are. To Watch One Program While Recording Another Once you have set the VCR for recording, press VCR/TV. Now, you will be viewing through your TV only. Switch channels using your TV controls or the VCR remote, if it's programmed to control your television (see Advanced Operations). The recording will continue as set on the VCR. If a preset timed recording starts up while you are watching the TV, you'll hear the cassette as it clicks on and see the recording indicator light up on the VCR display. You can check on the recording by pressing VCR/TV again. This will switch you back to viewing through the VCR, you'll see the program you are recording. To Skip Commercials When a commercial comes on that you don't want to record, simply press PAUSE on the remote control. Press PAUSE again to continue recording when you see the commercial is over. If you stay in PAUSE mode for more than 5 minutes, the VCR automatically switches to STOP mode to protect the tape. To Change the Channel Being Recorded Suppose you are recording one program, and you remember that something else is on that you would rather record. You can change the channel while in the recording mode. Press PAUSE to stop the recording temporarily. This is necessary because the CHANNEL buttons won't work while you are in recording mode--to keep you from accidentally switching the station while recording. Change the channel to the one you prefer. To Leave Index Marks on the Tape This feature is useful when you are recording several programs on the same tape. It helps you quickly find the beginnings of the shows during playback (page 36).
