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.)

Helpful Hints

To check the time remaining for an OTR after the OTR is in progress, press the EXIT/STATUS button. The remaining time will appear on the screen. (The recording length will not appear on the screen if ON SCREEN MODE is set to OFF.)

To change the recording length while an OTR is in progress, press the REC(ord)/OTR button until the desired length appears on the VCR display panel. The desired length also will appear on the screen if ON SCREEN MODE is set to ON or

If the preset time for a timer recording comes up during an OTR, the OTR has priority.
