●Put 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).

●Place the VCR in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.)

To cancel the OTR but continue recording, press the REC(ord)/OTR button repeatedly until REC appears in the upper left corner of the TV screen. (STATUS must be set to ON. See page 26 for details.) The Record light will remain on the display panel of the VCR, but the Timer light will disappear.

Helpful Hints

•To check the time remaining for an OTR after the OTR has been set, press the STATUS/EXIT button.

•To change the recording length while an OTR is in progress, press the REC(ord)/OTR 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 turn off the VCR immediately. The timer recording will take place if you turn off the VCR before the timer recording’s scheduled start time.

•If the end of the tape is reached dur- ing a One-Touch Recording, the VCR will eject the tape and turn itself off.
