One-Touch Recording

One-Touch Recording allows you to quickly make a recording of a preset length without using the program timer.

Before you begin:

Power on the DVD+VCR and the TV.

Be sure the TV is tuned to the DVD+VCR output channel (3 or 4). If a direct AUDIO/VIDEO connection is made between the DVD+VCR and the TV, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.

1	Insert a video cassette with the record safety
	tab intact.
2	Select the desired channel by using CH/TRK
	(v/V) or number (0-9).
	The channel number appears on the TV screen.
	If you are recording from an external source via the
	audio/video input jacks, select LINE1 (rear jacks) or
	LINE2 (front jacks) by pressing INPUT.
	Set the desired recording speed (SP or EP) by
3 pressing SP/EP.
	The tape speed will appear on the TV screen.
4	Press REC/OTR (z) twice.
	The One-Touch Record menu will appear on the TV
	screen.
	Recording will start and the TIMER indicator will light.
	Press REC/OTR (z) repeatedly to select the
5 recording time length.
	At the end of the recording, the DVD+VCR will stop
	recording and shut off.
	During One-Touch Recording, changing the channel on
	the DVD+VCR will not be possible.
	You can stop the recording by pressing STOP (x).

Checking the Recording Time

Press REC/OTR (z) once to check the recording time. The recalled setting will be displayed for 6 seconds and then return to the TV automatically.

Extending the Recording Time

The recording time can be extended anytime by press- ing REC/OTR (z).

Subsequent presses will increase the recording time in 30-minute increments.

otes

If you press PAUSE/STEP (X) during One-Touch Recording, the DVD+VCR will enter record pause mode. One-Touch Recording will be cancelled.

If the DVD+VCR is set to “0H00M”, the DVD+VCR goes to normal recording mode.

Dubbing and Editing

If you wish to edit or dub recordings from your cam- corder (or another VCR) to this DVD+VCR, connect your device to the line inputs on the front or rear pan- els. These direct A/V jacks will provide better picture results than using the RF jack on the rear panel.

1	Connect the camcorder’s (or another VCR’s) A/V
	outputs to the DVD+VCR as illustrated on page 14.
2	Press INPUT to select LINE 1 (rear) or LINE2
	(front).

3 Play the tape in the camcorder (or another VCR). If you have a TV attached to your DVD+VCR, you can see the video playing.

4 When you are ready to begin recording, press the DVD+VCR’s REC/OTR (z) button once to start.

3 Press the COPY button on the front panel. The DVD will go into play mode and the VCR will go into record mode.
