Using One-Touch Recording (OTR)
One-Touch Recording (OTR) is a way to begin recording
immediately, and have your VCR stop recording and turn off
automatically after your show is over.
1 Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
2 Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format
on page 21.
3 Set the speed at which you would like to record by pressing
SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on the front
panel. The selected speed will be displayed on the TV screen.
4 Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT on the remote
until a channel number shows on-screen.
5 Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL
on the remote control or on the front panel or the number
buttons on the remote. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the
cable box, not on the VCR. Additionally, if you are using an A/B
switch, remember to set the switch to the correct position.
6 Press REC/˙REC LENGTH on the front panel twice. The first
time you press the button, recording will begin. The second
press of the same button adds 30 minutes to the OTR timer,
displayed on the front panel.
7 Press REC/˙REC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes
you want to add to the OTR timer, up to 4 hours. If you press
the button 10 times, you will see End on the front panel display.
The VCR will record until the end of the tape. If you press the
button an eleventh time, the VCR will resume normal manual
recording.
The OTR timer will begin to count down backwards. When it
reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off.
If you program too much time into the OTR timer
Continue pressing REC/˙REC LENGTH. After the End point you
can start over from zero, adding time in 30 minute intervals.
How OTR affects other controls
If you press PAUSE during OTR, the VCR will pause recording, but
the OTR timer continues to count down.
Press PAUSE again to resume recording from the record-pause
mode. The REC/˙REC LENGTH will not resume your recording.
If you press STOP during OTR, you erase the OTR programming.
