If you want to record on a video cassette that has had its tab removed, put a piece of heavy plastic tape over the erase-protection tab hole.

IMMEDIATE RECORDING

Notes:

You cannot use the Model 36 to record one program while you watch another.

If you want to record from a VCR or other audio/video source with A/V outputs, see “Dubbing (Copying) a Tape” on Page 34.

Follow these steps to record the program you are watching.

1.Insert a blank cassette, or one that you want to record over, into the cassette com- partment. The Model 36 automatically turns on.

Note: If a cassette was loaded when you last turned off the Model 36, you must press POWER to turn on the Model 36.

2.Repeatedly press SPEED until the desired recording speed (SP, LP, or SLP) appears.

3.Press CHANNEL s or CHANNEL t or use the remote control’s number buttons to select the desired channel.

4.Press RECORD on the remote control or REC/OTR on the Model 36. The REC/ TIMER REC indicator on the Model 36 flashes, REC and the recording speed appear for a few seconds, and the Model 36 records what you see on the TV screen.

Notes:

You can press PAUSE/STILL to tempo- rarily pause recording (during commer- cials, for example). To resume recording, press PAUSE/STILL again or press RECORD on the remote control or REC/ OTR on the Model 36.

If you pause the Model 36 for 5 minutes while recording, it automatically resumes recording to protect the video heads.

When you pause the Model 36 during recording, it displays five n marks below PAUSE. Each mark represents 1 minute. While the Model 36 is paused, a mark disappears after each minute, one at a time, until one mark remains. The last remaining mark flashes for 1 minute before it disappears. You can use these marks to see how long the tape has been paused.

To turn the TV screen off or on while recording, press POWER.

5.Press STOP to stop recording.

ONE-TOUCH RECORDING (OTR)

One-touch recording lets you quickly set the Model 36 to start recording immediately, then stop after a length of time you specify (from 30 minutes to 8 hours).

1.Insert a blank cassette, or one that you want to record over, into the cassette com- partment. The Model 36 automatically turns on.
