When an OTR ends

The DVD/VCR will turn off and “” on the DVD/VCR’s display panel will flash indicating that the recording is complete, then goes into the timer standby mode again. (It may switch to DVD mode automatically.) At this point, you cannot use the VCR unless you release the DVD/VCR from the timer standby mode.

To release the DVD/VCR from timer standby mode

If the DVD component is active and no more timer recordings are on standby, you can cancel the timer standby mode by pressing TIMER SET or VCR on the remote control or by pressing SOURCE or STOP/EJECT C A on the front panel.

If the DVD component is not active, or the “” is not flashing but lit indicating there are more timer recordings on standby, you can cancel the timer standby mode only by pressing TIMER SET on the remote control or by pressing STOP/EJECT C A on the front panel.

After releasing the DVD/VCR from timer standby mode, you can use it as usual.

Stopping an OTR

To stop an OTR before recording is finished, press STOP C on the remote control or STOP/EJECT CA on the front of the DVD/VCR. To cancel the OTR but continue recording, press REC I repeatedly until REC appears in the upper left corner of the TV screen, and “” disappears.

Helpful Hints

The remaining recording time will appear on the display panel during an OTR. Press DISPLAY to see it on the TV screen.

To change the recording length while an OTR is in progress, press REC I repeatedly.

You cannot pause an OTR.

If the preset time for a timer recording comes up during an OTR, the OTR has priority. The timer recording will not take place.

If the end of the tape is reached during an OTR, the VCR will stop recording, eject the tape, and switch to DVD mode or turn off.

If one or more Timer recordings are on standby when one OTR ends, the DVD/VCR

will turn off automatically and “” will appear on the DVD/VCR’s display panel indicating that it is now ready for another timer recording.
