Express Recording (XPR)

Use XPR to quickly record the remaining portion of a program being watched. 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.

XPR works in 30-minute increments. You can capture the last 30, 60, 90, etc. minutes of programming (providing on tape length), up to four hours total.

To Activate XPR:

1.If necessary, turn on the VCR and tune it to the channel with the desired programming.

2.If necessary, insert a tape with its safety tab in place into the VCR. Make sure it is cued to record at the proper starting point.

Note: To override the preferred tape speed setting, press the SPEED button on the remote control repeatedly to toggle between SP and SLP choices.

3.Press the RECORD button on the remote control or VCR front panel to start recording.

4.Repeatedly press the RECORD button to set up the recording duration.

Each press of the RECORD button adds 30 minutes of recording time.

The VCR automatically turns off after recording for the set time.

To stop an XPR recording, press and hold the STOP button on the remote control or VCR front panel for several seconds until STOP appears on the VCR on-screen display.
