To cancel the OTR but continue recording, press the

The One-Touch Recording (OTR) function allows you to start an
immediate timed recording 30 minutes to six hours long of the
channel you are watching. Before you begin, make sure:
• Channels are set up. Details are on pages 13-14.
• The desired recording speed (SP or SLP) has been selected with
the SPEED button. Details are on pages 41 and 62.
• There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is
intact (see page 5) and the tape is long enough to record the
program(s). If the end of the tape is reached during an OTR,
recording will stop. The VCR will eject the tape and turn itself
off.
• The VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the
display panel of the VCR when the VCR is in VCR position. If
the VCR light does not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.)
