clock must be set before you can Express Record.

Note for Step O
The first time you press the START button, XPR will
appear in the display and the clock will skip to the next
half-hour. Examples: If you press the button at 9:35 AM
the clock will skip to 10:00 AM; if you press it at 8:15 PM
the clock will skip to 8:30 PM
Each additional time you press START, the clock will
advance another 30 minutes. The time that is displayed
is the time when the recording will start.
After you have set the starting time, you must set
LENGTH within 8 seconds. Otherwise, XPR will disap-
pear and the clock will return to the actual time. Then
you must reset the start time.
Note for Step O-
Press the LENGTH button at least twice. The first
keypress only starts the XPR recording; it does not
advance the recording length.
Increase the recording time by pressing the LENGTH
button additional times. The clock display shows the
amount of recording time you have set. [from 0:30 (30
minutes) to 4:00 (4 hours)]
The time remaining is constantly displayed during XPR
You can extend the time whenever you want by press-
ing LENGTH.
When the recording time has expired, the VCR turns off
and the clock display returns to current time.
