Express Recording (XPR)

Description: XPR quickly records the remaining portion of a program in progress. XPR is a great way to capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long.

Requirements: The Record button on the VCR front panel or remote control.

Timer Recordings

Description: Your VCR allows you to program up to eight different future broadcasts to be recorded. You can catch a one-time, daily, or weekly broadcast to record.

Requirements: The VCR’s clock must be set correctly. A tape with its safety tab in place and enough tape to record a program must be inserted into the VCR. For a cable box or satellite receiver, turn it on and tune it to the channel you want to record before the recording is to begin.

ShowSaver™ Memory Protection

Description: Set timer programs are stored indefinitely using the VCR’s permanent memory so you’ll never have to worry about losing your programs due to an extended power outage.

Requirements: Store a daily or weekly timer program in the VCR’s memory.
