Using Standby One-Touch Recording (OTR2)

Standby One-Touch Recording (also called OTR2) is a programming method to begin recording within the next 24 hours and record in 30 minutes intervals. Before you use OTR2, make sure the clock has been set correctly.

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 on the remote until the channel number shows on-screen.

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 PAUSE/%START TIME on the front panel to set the time when you wish recording to start (within the next 24 hours). The start time is displayed on the front panel. The first time display is the next half-hour increment from the current time. For example, if it is currently 2:15, 2:30 (next half-hour increment) will be displayed. Similarly, if it is currently 2:40, 3:00 (again, the next half-hour increment) will be displayed. Each time you press the button, the start time is delayed by 30 minutes.

7Press REC/úREC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes you want to add to the OTR2 timer, up to 4 hours. If you see End on the front panel display, the VCR will record until the end of the tape.

After 30 seconds, the power will turn off and the programmed recording light will be lit. The VCR will automatically turn on at the OTR2 start time and recording will begin. When the OTR2 timer reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off automatically. If the end of the tape is reached before OTR2 is finished, the VCR will stop and the power will turn off.

IMPORTANT

Other programs you have set to record may be erased if:

¥the start times are before the OTR2 start time

¥conflicts with the OTR2

¥starts within one minute or less after the OTR2 finishes

If you turn the power on while your VCR is in stand-by for the OTR2, the OTR2 programming will be erased.
