Basic Recording

You can record a TV show in progress by inserting a blank tape and pressing the REC button. You can even add time in 30-minute increments up to 9 hours and 30 minutes by pressing the REC button repeatedly; see page 57.

NOTE: Be sure your videotape has a Record Safety Tab. If the tab is missing, you can cover the opening with a small piece of tape. Warning: Do not cover this opening unless you are sure you want to record over the tape.
