Recording

Using One-Touch Recording (OTR)

One-Touch Recording (OTR) is a way to begin recording immediately, and have your VCR stop recording and turn off automatically after your show is over.

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

2Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format on page 24.

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.

4Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT on the remote until a channel number shows on-screen or on the front panel display. If you would like to record channels from a PRIMESTAR® receiver, press INPUT until a

channel number with the PRIMESTAR light () appears on the front panel display.

5Press CHANNEL on the remote control or on the front panel or the number buttons on the remote to select the channel to be recorded. If you are using a cable box that the VCR does not control, select channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the cable box.

6Press REC/úREC LENGTH on the front panel twice. The first time you press the button, recording will begin. The second press of the same button adds 30 minutes to the OTR timer, displayed on the front panel.

7Press REC/úREC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes you want to add to the OTR timer, up to 4 hours. If you press the button 10 times, you will see End on the front panel display. The VCR will record until the end of the tape. If you press the button an eleventh time, the VCR will resume normal manual recording.

The OTR timer will begin to count down backwards. When it reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off. The OTR light on the front panel display will light up during the OTR recording.

If you program too much time into the OTR timer

Continue pressing REC/úREC LENGTH. After the End point you can start over from zero, adding time in 30 minute intervals.

How OTR affects other controls

If you press PAUSE during OTR, the VCR will pause recording, but the OTR timer continues to count down.

Press PAUSE again to resume recording from the record-pause mode. The REC/ úREC LENGTH will not resume your recording.

If you press STOP during OTR, you erase the OTR programming.

IMPORTANT

If you are using a high definition satellite receiver, make sure you manually set the output to standard definition or the program cannot be recorded because the HS-U778 is not a digital VCR.
