Chapter 4 : Operating Your VCR
You cannot change channels while you are recording. To change channels, press
PAUSE/STILL or STOP/EJECT to interrupt your recording.
If the tape reaches its end while recording, it will quit recording and eject the tape.
One Touch Recording (OTR)
One Touch Recording allows you to begin recording a channel, and also set how long how
wish to record. The TV/VCR Combination will automatically stop recording after the time
you set has elapsed. To use OTR:
1. Follow steps 1-3 in “Basic Recording,” on the previous page, to begin recording.
2. Repeatedly press the REC/OTR button. Each time you press the REC/OTR button, 30
minutes is added to the OTR time, up to 4 hours.
3. When you have reached the length of time that you want the TV to record, stop pressing
the OTR button. The TV/VCR Combination will count down the time you set. When the
timer reaches 00:00, recording will stop.
4. You can stop recording at any time by pressing STOP button.
If you press the POWER button during OTR, the picture will turn off, but the tape will still
record for the remainder of the OTR time. To stop recording, press STOP/EJECT.
To return to normal recording and cancel the OTR Time, press the REC/OTR button repeated-
ly until “4:00” is displayed, then press the REC/OTR button once more to return to normal
recording.
If you program too much time into the OTR timer, continue to press the REC/OTR button.
Once the time reaches “4:00,” press the REC/OTR button twice more to return to “0:30.”
You cannot set an OTR time if the TV/VCR Combination is recording a timer program.
