Recording

Your new VCR offers a wide variety of recording options that take full advantage of our advanced electronics. You can learn how to record a current broadcast. And in another section of this book called Timer Recording, you can also learn how to program your VCR to record at a later time and day.

Recording a Current Broadcast

To record a TV program that is currently playing:

1Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.

2Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format on page 21.

3Set the speed at which you would like to record by pressing SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on the front panel. The selected speed will be displayed on the TV screen.

4Set the VCRÕs input to tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel number is shown on-screen. If External L1 or L2 appears, continue to press INPUT until a channel number appears.

5Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL on the remote control or on the front panel or the number buttons on the remote. If you are using a cable box, select channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the cable box, not on the VCR. Additionally, if you are using an A/B switch, remember to set the switch to the correct position.

6Press REC on the remote or REC/úREC LENGTH on the front panel.

Recording will start. When the VCR reaches the end of the tape, it will automatically rewind to the beginning of the tape and stop.

¥You can stop recording at any time by pressing STOP or PAUSE on the remote or on the front panel.

¥To resume recording from STOP, press REC.

¥To resume recording from PAUSE, press PAUSE.

You cannot use REC/úREC LENGTH on the front panel to resume recording from PAUSE.

IMPORTANT

If you pause the VCR for more than five minutes, recording will stop automatically to protect the tape.

If you record in extended play (EP), you will only be able to play the tape on a VCR equipped for EP play, such as this one.

If you attempt to record on a tape that has had its erasure prevention tab removed, the VCR will eject it. To record over such a tape, simply place a piece of vinyl tape over the opening.
