To Select the Recording Duration and Perform Timer Recording (OTR Recording)

OTR means One-Touch Recording and is called this way, because you can start recording and select the recording duration by repeatedly pressing a single button. This is very convenient, for example when you want to start recording immediately but need to go out or want to go to bed.

After the selected recording duration has elapsed, recording stops and the VCR automatically switches off.

To Perform an OTR Recording:

1Display the VCR picture on the TV.

2Insert a video cassette with an intact erasure prevention tab.

3Press the Channel buttons N to select the programme position on which the TV programme to be recorded will be broadcast.

4Press the REC/OTR button b to start recording.

5Press the REC/OTR button b repeatedly to select the desired recording duration.

–Every time you press this button, the recording duration indicated in the VCR display changes in the following order.

–For example, if you select [30], the VCR records a programme from that moment on for 30 minutes.

Counter display		30	60
(normal recording mode)		(min.)	(min.)
240	180	120	90
(min.)	(min.)	(min.)	(min.)

To Stop the OTR Recording Before the End:

Press the Stop button F.

Notes:
