• means for selecting a particular one of said day indicators;
• means responsive to selection of said particular day indicator for interrogating said array of event designators to ascertain which of said designators have been programmed for said particular day;
• means for selecting a desired one of said event designators for said particular day to afford review of the program content of said selected event designator;
• visual signaling means, responsive to said designator selecting means, for identifying said selected event designator;
• programming means, including visual readout means, for selecting and visually displaying the time, channel and recording duration information that identifies an event to be associated with said selected event designator;
• and
• means for entering said program information into the memory for subsequent retrieval upon said selected day to control the recorder.
