I have just received a recon. FVP-5000. All is well. I have practiced recording programmes using the GUIDE and then the RECORD button. I have succeeded in going forwards two hours and whole days (as instructed on this forum). When finished and after waiting a few minutes, I pressed the RECORDINGS button. All the programs are listed, although rather small and indistinct, only in the SCHEDULE section. The poor guidebook doesn’t even list the options under RECORDINGS and I wonder what they are for and how to use them. I am probably being stupid but I can’t see that these do anything significant anyway. I would prefer to be able to see my recordings with the press of one button (the yellow one on my earlier model).
