Recording with VideoGuide

VideoGuide allows you to record a show "Once" or "Regularly."

Once:  means record the show the selected time only.

Regularly:  means record the show each and every time the show is on the
selected channel at the selected time. For example, regularly may mean five
times a week for a daily talk show, once a week for a weekly sitcom, or
once a weekend for a Sunday morning news program.  VideoGuide knows when
the shows are on.

IMPORTANT!:  Your VCR must be turned OFF to record a show. VideoGuide will
             automatically turn on your VCR when necessary.

How to Record a show "Once."

1.  Select a program you wish to record by highlighting its tile in any
    Program Guide or Program Views format or by highlighting a televised
    game tile in Sports Guide.

2.  Press the LEFT ACTION button.  That's it - you've set the show to
    record one time.  (You will see the tile turn red indicating the show
    is set to record.  The information Box will turn green "confirming"
    the selected recording.)

TIP:  VideoGuide records "scheduled" time slots. When recording a show that
      might run over its usual time slot (such as a game that may run into
      overtime) set the following show to record as well.

How to Record shows "Regularly."

1.  First select a show to record Once as outlined above.

2.  While on the show's tile (now turned red) press the LEFT ACTION button
    (note that it is now labeled "Record List" in the banner).  This will
    take you to the Record List.

3.  In the Record List, select the show you wish to record Regularly by
    moving the JOYSTICK up or down.  Once on the desired show, move the
    is now set to record Regularly.  (Moving the JOYSTICK back to the left
    JOYSTICK to the right to change the frequency to "Regularly." The show
    will return the show recording frequency to "Once.")

4.  To leave the Record List, press the LEFT ACTION button (labeled "Done")
    to return to the service from which the recording selection was made.
    Or, press the GUIDE button to go to the Video Guide Menu.

NOTE:  VideoGuide uses its own clock to start and stop recordings; so even
       if your VCR clock is blinking "12:00," VideoGuide will record
       correctly.
