Programming

• 1). Insert a VHS tape into the tape compartment on your VCR.

Cue your tape to the spot where you want you're recording to begin.

• 3). Use the arrow buttons on your remote to set your recording Channel (set to channel "03"); the Start Time, indicating when you'd like the VCR to automatically begin recording; End Time, indicating when you'd like the VCR to automatically stop recording; the Date you want your recording to take place; and the Recording Speed. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to adjust your settings, and the right and left arrow buttons to move from field to field.
  
  
• 4). Press "Clear" on your Magnavox VCR remote to save and preview your timer settings. If your Magnavox remote does not have a button labeled "Clear," press "Menu." Press the "VCR Power" button on your remote. If you're Magnavox remote does not have a "VCR Power" button, press the "Power" button on your remote. Your VCR will shut off and you should see the red Timer light lit in the display.
