Recording Features
The VCR provides several different ways to record programs. The following pages explain how
to use the types of recording features. If you’re using the remote control, you must press the
VCR button to put the remote control in VCR mode.
Recording Speeds
Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed.
• SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording; consequently, fewer
programs can be recorded on the tape. Most pre-recorded, rental tapes are
recorded in SP.
• EP (Extended Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded
in SP.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted
material.
Press PAUSE during recording to temporarily stop and start recording (STILL
appears on the screen while the tape is paused). The TV/VCR automatically
switches from pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.
Types of Recording
Your TV/VCR/DVD provides five ways to capture programming:
• Recording allows you to press one button to record a program.
• One Touch Recording (OTR) allows recording to start while a program is being
watched. This feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.
• Timer Recording program the TV/VCR for a daily, weekly, or one time recording which
automatically starts and stop at the times you set.
• Copying and Editing Tapes allows you to record from another VCR or camcorder.
• Recording from DVD Player allows you to record from the DVD player.
