Helpful Hints

•To check the time remaining for an OTR after the OTR has been set, press the DISPLAY/STATUS/EXIT but- ton.

•To change the recording length while an OTR is in progress, press the RECORD 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 press the TIMER SET button immediately. The timer recording will take place if you press the TIMER SET button before the timer record- ing’s scheduled start time.
