● Select a recording speed (SP, SLP) with the SPEED button.
Details are on page 35.

and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).

the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.)

• To change the recording length while
an OTR is in progress, press the
REC(ord)/OTR button until the desired

• If you begin an OTR when another
recording is paused, the OTR will
begin.
• You can not pause an OTR.
• If the preset time for a timer record-
ing comes up during an OTR, the
OTR has priority. A message will
remind you when the timer recording
was scheduled to begin. You may let
the OTR continue; the timer recording
will not take place. Or, stop the OTR
and turn off the VCR immediately.
The timer recording will take place if
you turn off the VCR before the timer
recording’s scheduled start time.
