record one satellite or digital cable program and watch another satellite or digital cable program.
Copying a video cassette tape to a DVD disc
1. Put a DVD±R or DVD±RW disc into the disc tray (if it’s a blank disc, you’ll need to wait for the DVD/VCR to initialize the disc.

3. Press the COPY button on the front of the DVD/VCR. The unit starts recording the tape to disc.
To watch a TV while the tape is copying to disc, you’ll need to change channels on the TV because the DVD/VCR is conducting two functions —
playback of the tape and recording onto a disc.
Note: You can’t copy pre-recorded videocassette tapes that are encrypted with Macrovision software.
