Helpful Hints

To check the time remaining for an OTR after the OTR has been set, press the STATUS/EXIT button.

To change the recording length while an OTR is in progress, press the REC(ord)/OTR button until the desired length appears on the screen.

If you begin an OTR when another recording is paused, the OTR will begin.

You can not pause an OTR.

If the preset time for a timer record- ing comes up during an OTR, the OTR has priority. A message will remind you when the timer recording was scheduled to begin. You may let the OTR continue; the timer recording will not take place. Or, stop the OTR and turn off the VCR immediately. The timer recording will take place if you turn off the VCR before the timer recording’s scheduled start time.
