Stopping an OTR

Helpful Hints

To change the recording length while an OTR is in progress, press the REC(ord)/OTR button on the VCR repeatedly until the desired length appears on the screen.

You can not pause recording during an OTR.

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

To show the time remaining for an OTR, press the DISPLAY button repeatedly until OTR and the time remaining appear in the upper left corner of the screen.

If the end of the tape is reached during an OTR, the VCR will stop recording, eject the tape, and turn itself off.
