32 One-Touch Recording

Press the CH(annel) o/p buttons or the Number buttons
to select the channel you want to record.

OTR (0:30)

CH12

Press the REC(ord)/OTR button repeatedly until the
desired recording length (30 minutes to eight hours)
appears on the TV screen. Recording will begin immediately.
The Record light and the Timer light will appear on the VCR
display panel. When the OTR finishes, the VCR shuts itself off.

The One-Touch Recording feature allows you to set an immediate
timed recording 30 minutes to eight hours long. Before you begin:

●

Set up the channels at the VCR. Details are on page 12.

●

Select a recording speed (SP, SLP) with the SPEED button.
Details are on page 36.

●

Put a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is intact
and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).

●

Place the VCR in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on
the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.)

To stop an OTR before recording is finished, press the
STOP/p button.
To cancel the OTR but continue recording, press the
REC(ord)/OTR button repeatedly until REC appears in the upper
left corner of the TV screen. (STATUS must be ON. See page 26
for details.) The Record light will remain on the display panel of
the VCR, but the Timer light will disappear.

• To check the time remaining for an

OTR that is in progress, press the
STATUS/EXIT button.

• To change the recording length while

an OTR is in progress, press the
REC(ord)/OTR button until the
desired length appears on the screen.

• 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 record-
ing will not take place. Or, stop the
OTR and turn off the VCR immedi-
ately. The timer recording will take
place if you turn off the VCR before
the timer recording’s scheduled start
time.

• If the end of the tape is reached dur-

ing a One-Touch Recording, the VCR
will eject the tape and turn itself off.
