One Touch Recording 33

The one touch recording (OTR) function allows you to program an immediate timed recording 30 minutes to eight hours long without setting the timer. Before you begin, make sure:

●Channels are programmed.

●The desired recording speed (SP, LP, or SLP) has been selected with the (Tape) SPEED button.

●There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is intact and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).

●The VCR is in VCR position. The VCR light will appear on the display panel if the VCR is in VCR position. If the VCR light does not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.

Press the VCR button.

2

Press the CH(annel) Up/Down buttons or the Number buttons to select the channel you want to record.

3

Press the REC(ord)/OTR button repeatedly until the desired recording length (30 minutes to eight hours) appears in the upper left corner of the screen. Recording will begin immediately.
