4.Press REC/OTR twice on the front of the Model 28 to begin recording. The REC indi- cator on the Model 28 turns on, OTR and (0:30) appear on the TV screen for about 5 seconds, and the Model 28 records what you see on the TV screen.

To change the displayed total recording time, within 5 seconds repeatedly press REC/OTR to advance the time in 30-minute increments.

Note: If you do not press REC/OTR within 5 seconds, the recording time disappears. Simply press REC/OTR again to redisplay the remaining recording time.

When you finish entering all OTR informa- tion, the displayed information disappears after 5 seconds.

OTR Hints

To ensure that you record all of the desired program, you might want to set the record- ing stop time 30 minutes later than the scheduled end of the program.

You can program OTR information only while a tape is recording. You cannot pro- gram OTR information if a tape is not inserted in the Model 28, if the erase- protection tab on the tape is removed, or if automatic timer recording is in progress.

During OTR recording, the remaining recording time is displayed on the TV screen for 5 seconds.

When the recording stop time is reached during OTR recording, the Model 28 turns off.

To turn off the TV screen while recording, press MONITOR.

You can check automatic program timer settings during OTR. See “Automatic Timer Recording (Timer Numbers 1-7)” on this page.

Be sure the tape length you select for OTR is long enough to record the entire pro- gram. Even though you can set the Model 28 to record for up to 8 hours, the actual recording time is limited by the tape’s length.

To cancel OTR while the Model 28 is recording, press STOP/EJECT on the Model 28 (or STOP on the remote control).
