Instant Timer Recording
Instant Timer Recording allows you to make a recording
easily of a preset length without using the programma-
ble timer.
Preparation:
Turn on the power of both the DVD/VCR Receiver and the TV.
Be sure the TV is tuned to the DVD/VCR Receiver output channel
(CH3 or 4).
If a direct VIDEO/AUDIO connection is made between the
DVD/VCR Receiver and the TV, set the TV’s source selector to
VIDEO.
1. Insert a video cassette with the safety tab intact.
2. Select the desired channel with CH/TRK (v v/V V) or
number (0-9) buttons.
The channel number appears on the TV screen.
If you are recording from another source via audio/video
input jacks (at the Rear or Front panel), select
LINE1(L1) or LINE2(L2).
3. Select the desired recording speed (SP or SLP)
with the SP/SLP button.
The tape speed will appear on the TV screen.
4. Press REC/ITR (z z) twice.
The menu as illustrated, will appear on the TV screen.
Recording will start. (The indicator will light)
5. Press REC/ITR (z z) repeatedly to select the
recording time length.
At the end of the recording, the DVD/VCR Receiver
will stop recording and shut off.
During Instant Timer Recording, changing the channel
on the DVD/VCR Receiver will not be possible.
You can stop the recording by pressing STOP.
Each additional press or REC/ITR(z) increases record-
ing time by 30 minutes until you reach a maximum of 9
hours.
Checking the Recording Time
Press REC/ITR (z) once to check the recording time.
The recalled setting will automatically return to the TV
screen after 6 seconds.
To extend the Recording Time
The recording time can be extended anytime by press-
ing REC/ITR (z).
Subsequent presses result in advancing the recording
time by 30-minute increments.

television programs, videotapes, DVDs and other materials,
is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States
and other countries, and may subject you to civil and/or
criminal liability.
Dubbing and Editing
If you wish to edit or dub your camcorder (or another
VCR) recordings to this DVD/VCR Receiver, the rear
(or Front) panel mounted Audio and Video (A/V) input
jacks make the connections quick and easy. These
direct A/V jacks will also provide better picture results
than using the RF jack on the rear panel.
1. Connect the camcorder’s (or another VCR’s) A/V
outputs to your DVD/VCR Receiver as illustrated on
page 14.
2. Select the input channel “LINE2” (Use INPUT to
select LINE2(L2)).
If you have connected your DVD/VCR Receiver to the A/V
input jacks on the rear of DVD/VCR Receiver, you should
select the input channel LINE1(L1) by pressing INPUT
twice.
3. Play the tape in the camcorder (or another VCR).
If you have a TV attached to your DVD/VCR
Receiver, you can see the video playing.
4. When you desire the recording to begin, press
DVD/VCR Receiver’s REC/ITR (z z) once to start.
You can stop the recording by pressing STOP.
