One-Touch Recording (OTR)

Use OTR to quickly record the remaining portion of a program being watched. OTR is a great way to capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long.

OTR works in 30-minute increments. You can capture the last 30, 60, 90, etc. minutes of programming (depending on the length of your tape, up to five hours).

OTR 0 : 30

CH 012

Each time you press RECORD, the recording time increases 30 minutes.

To Activate OTR:

1.Insert a tape with the safety tab in place into the TV/VCR. The TV/VCR will turn on.

2.Press the SPEED button on the remote control to select the desired tape speed.

3.Press the number buttons to enter the channel to be recorded.

4.Repeatedly press the RECORD button to begin recording and to set the duration.

Each press of RECORD adds 30 minutes of recording time.

To stop capturing OTR, press the STOP button.

The RECORD indicator will light during OTR.
