VCR BASICS

Recording

If you want to record something that you’re watching, you can use basic recording.

1.Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote (see margin note for information about tape speed settings).

2.Press the RECORD button to begin recording.

3.Press STOP (STOP•EJECT on VCR) to stop recording.

If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (like during a commercial), press PAUSE (PLAY•PAUSE on VCR) instead of STOP.

Check the Safety Tab

No matter which recording option you use, you need to make sure there is a tape in the VCR, and that the tape’s safety tab is in place. You cannot record on a tape with the safety tab removed.

Safety Tab

If the safety tab is removed and you want to record over it, simply cover the hole with vinyl tape.

Automatic Rewind

During playback, the VCR automatically rewinds the tape if the tape reaches the end and stops.

During recording, the VCR automatically rewinds the tape if it reaches the end. While rewinding, you can press POWER (OFF on the remote) and the VCR will turn off after rewinding.

Tape Speeds

SP (Standard Play)

Gives the best quality recording, but fewer programs can be recorded on the tape. Special effects such as pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame advance work well when you play back tapes recorded in this speed.

LP (Long Play)

Your VCR is capable of playing back tapes recorded in LP. You cannot record in the LP speed.

SLP (Super Long Play)

Gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects such as pause, slow motion, picture search, and frame advance work well when you play back tapes recorded in this speed.
