A method preprograms a video cassette recorder (VCR) to record a desired television (TV) program. When a reservation key is pressed by the VCR's user for the preprogramming of the VCR, a preprogramming commencement signal is issued. In response to the preprogramming commencement signal, a recording start time, a recording channel and a recording tape speed are automatically set all at once. A recording end time is obtained by adding a predetermined duration of recording to the recording start time. The recording start time set and the recording end time are adjusted to an actual recording start time and an actual recording end time, respectively, through the use of an on touch screen manner. Finally, if there is a preprogramming completion signal from the user after adjusting the recording start time and the recording end time, the preprogramming information including the adjusted recording start time, the recording channel, the recording tape speed and the adjusted recording end time is accepted to preprogram the desired TV program, wherein the preprogramming information is stored and the VCR is entered into a stand-by mode until the recording starts.
