Marjorie, I have a mental block when it comes to VCR programming. I have built many electronic devices over the years, from kits and from scratch, I repair elctronic equipment such as copiers and printing presses, etc. But when I open the manual for a VCR with its semi translated from Japanese to English text (example, "the ramp will extinguish when the button is pressed upon)=the lamp, or light will go out........my eyes glaze over after a few minutes. If someone holds a gun to my head, I can do it, but I'd rather be doing something else! It's amazing how the brain works (or doesn't) according to the task at hand! I might mention the latest VCR has VCR plus to supposedly set it to record using codes from the TV guide, as well as a wealth of other features that I paid for, but will probably never use. I prefer the TV/VCR combo in the kitchen, I got that programmed in a few minutes, without even using the instruction book! Ken B P.S. my mom has been programming her own VCR for years, and she was always "unmechanical" as she says!
