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 output
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/TRK (v/V)
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 INPUT.
5. Set the desired recording speed (SP or SLP)
using SPEED. The tape speed appears on the TV
screen.
6. Press REC/ITR (z) twice. The menu appears on
the TV screen, recording starts, and the
(TIMER) indicator lights.
7. Press REC/ITR (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/ITR (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/ITR (z). Subsequent presses result in
advancing the recording time by 30-minute
increments.

If you press PAUSE/STEP (X) during instant timer record-
ing, the instant timer recording is cancelled.
