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 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 theVCR’s input to tuner. To record PRIMESTAR® channels, see step 4 on the previous page.

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

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, theVCR will record until the end of the tape.

If you have a cable box, a digital cable box, a PRIMESTAR® or a DISH NetworkTM satellite receiver, leave the cable box or receiver turned ON. If the HS-U778 does not control your cable box, leave the box tuned the station you wish to record.

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.

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.

To cancel OTR2

•Turn the power OFF while you are programming the timer.

•Turn the power ON if you have finished programming the timer.

How OTR2 affects other controls

If you press REC/úREC LENGTH on the front panel during OTR2 recording, 30 minutes will be added to the OTR2 timer. If you press STOP during OTR2 recording, you erase the OTR2 programming.
