Hi,
As a general rule, to record one channel while watching another-
slect the channel you want to record so you see that on the TV. locate the "TV/VCR" button, press that once- TV should go to snow. Now using the channel buttons for the TV set that on are on the TV set- This will allow you to avoid switching channels on the VCR in the event that you have an "All in one" remote. Otherwise, you can use the regular TV remote.

This may not work adequately if you are using cable, or a dish- (if you only get one signal out, that dictates everything you watch or record)- In this case you have to run the signal coax cable to the VCR, and get an antenna/cable switcher so you can use the TV seperate (disconnect from) from the cable/satellite box- Using the TV antenna; connecting the antenna to the TV set directly effectively at the turn of knob.

If that will not work for you, you will need two cable/satellite boxes so the TV set can get a signal different from that going tot he VCR.

If you are using one cable connection, and can only change channels through the cable box- you will not be able to do what you want.

Once this part of the dilema is resolved, you should be able to program the VCR so everything works as it should.
