Timer Recording
Up to 8 timer recording programs can be made using G-CODE/ SHOWVIEW 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.

G-CODE�/SHOWVIEW� Timer Programing
The G-CODE numbers are the numbers next to the program in most TV listing. � Remember, the clock must be set before you can program the timer. � Be sure to read �G-CODE�/ SHOWVIEW� System Setup�. � Load a cassette with the record safety tab intact. The recorder turns on, and the counter is reset, automatically. � Select the appropriate colour system with �PAL/MESECAM� and �NTSC� in Function settings.

NOTES:

� If all the 8programs have already been set, �PROGRAM FULL� appears on the TV screen. � After timer recording is completed, the recorder turns off automatically. � You can program the timer recording while a regular recording is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded. � In case of a power failure after programming, the recorder�s memory backup keeps your selections (if the lithium battery is not exhausted).

G-CODE /SHOWVIEW System Setup
INFORMATION
G-CODE and SHOWVIEW are different trademarks used to represent the same easy recording feature, but only the term G-CODE system will be used in the instructions. If you use the SHOWVIEW system, follow the same instructions listed for the G-CODE system. The G-CODE timer programming system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the timer record function. Simply key in the G-CODE number for the TV programme you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and the recorder's timer is automatically programmed. You have to set �GUIDE PROG� numbers, which are assigned to each station for purposes of G-CODE timer programming, for all the stations stored in your recorder�s memory to get proper results. Before G-CODE setup you must have performed the procedures of Tuner Set and Clock Set.
