32 One Touch Recording

The one touch recording (OTR) function allows you to start an immediate timed recording 30 minutes to nine hours long of the channel you are watching. Before you begin, make sure:

Channels are programmed. Details are on page 12.

The desired recording speed (SP or SLP) has been selected with the (Tape) SPEED button. Details are on pages 36 and 58.

There is a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is intact (see page five) and the tape is long enough to record the program(s). If the end of the tape is reached during an OTR, recording will stop. The VCR will eject the tape and turn itself off.

The VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the display panel of the VCR when the VCR is in VCR position. If the VCR light does not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.)

Stopping an OTR

To stop an OTR before recording is finished, press the STOP but- ton.

To cancel the OTR but continue recording, press the REC(ord)/OTR button until REC appears in the upper left corner of the TV screen. The REC(ord) light will remain on the display panel, but the OTR light will disappear.

Helpful Hints

To check the time remaining for an OTR after the OTR is in progress, press the EXIT/STATUS button.

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

If the preset time for a timer recording comes up during an OTR, the OTR has priority.

You may not be able to access the menu during an OTR.
