30 One-Touch Recording

The One-Touch Recording (OTR) function allows you to start an immediate timed recording 30 minutes to six hours long of the channel you are watching. Before you begin, make sure:

Channels are set up. Details are on pages 11-12.

The desired recording speed (SP or SLP) has been selected with the SPEED button. Details are on pages 37 and 52.

There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is intact (see page 5) and the tape is long enough to record the program(s). If the end of the tape is reached during an OTR, recording will stop. The VCR will eject the tape and turn itself off.

The VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the display panel of the VCR when the VCR is in VCR position. If the VCR light does not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.)
