Instant Timer Recording
With this feature you can record for a preset
length without using the program timer.
1. Turn on DVD+VCR and the TV.
2. Be sure the TV is tuned to the DVD+VCR out-
put channel (CH 3 or 4). If a direct
VIDEO/AUDIO connection is made between
the DVD+VCR and the TV, set the TV’s
source selector to VIDEO.
3. Insert a video cassette with the safety tab
intact.
4. Select the desired channel using CH -/+ or the
number buttons (0-9). 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
(rear jacks) or LINE2 (front jacks) by using
AUX.
5. Set the desired recording speed (SP or SLP)
using SPEED. The tape speed appears on the
TV screen.
6. Press REC (z) twice. The menu appears on
the TV screen, recording starts, and the
(TIMER) indicator lights.
7. Press REC (z) repeatedly to select the
recording time length. Each time you press
this button the recording time increases 30
minutes (up to 9 hours). At the end of the
recording, the DVD+VCR will stop recording
and shut off.
If you set the time to 0H00M, the DVD+VCR
goes into the normal recording mode. Press
STOP (x) to stop the recording.
Checking the Recording Time
Press REC (z) once to check the recording time.
The recalled setting automatically returns to the
TV screen after 6 seconds.
Extending the Recording Time
The recording time can be extended anytime by
pressing REC (z). Subsequent presses result in
advancing the recording time by 30-minute
increments.
Note:
If you press PAUSE (X) during instant timer recording,
the instant timer recording is cancelled. It goes to nor-
mal recording PAUSE mode.
