23 One-Touch Recording
One-Touch Recording (OTR) lets you set a timed recording 30 minutes to 8
hours long.
Before you begin :
● This DVD/VCR does not have a tuner input jack. To record TV
programs on your DVD/VCR, you need to connect this DVD/VCR
to an external tuner device (e.g., set top box, cable box or satellite
receiver) that has audio/video output jacks. See page 10 on how to
connect the DVD/VCR to the external tuner.
● Place the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. Press VCR so VCR light appears on the
front of the DVD/VCR.
● Select a recording speed (SP,SLP) by pressing SPEED.
● Put a videotape in the cassette compartment. Make sure the tape’s record
tab is intact and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).
When an OTR ends
The DVD/VCR will turn off and “ ” on the DVD/VCR’s display panel will
flash indicating that the recording is complete, then goes into the timer
standby mode again. (It may switch to DVD mode automatically.) At this point,
you cannot use the VCR unless you release the DVD/VCR from the timer
standby mode.
To release the DVD/VCR from timer standby mode
● If the DVD component is active and no more Timer Recordings are on
standby, you can cancel the timer standby mode by pressing TIMER SET or
VCR on the remote control or by pressing SOURCE or STOP/EJECT C A
on the front panel.
● If the DVD component is not active, or the “ ” is not flashing but lit
indicating there are more Timer Recordings on standby, you can cancel the
timer standby mode only by pressing TIMER SET on the remote control or
by pressing STOP/EJECT C A on the front panel.
● After releasing the DVD/VCR from timer standby mode, you can use it as
usual.
Stopping an OTR

control or STOP/EJECT C A on the front of the DVD/VCR.
