OTR Hints

•To ensure that you record all of the desired program, you might want to set the record- ing stop time 30 minutes later than the scheduled end of the program.

•You can program OTR information only while a tape is recording. You cannot program OTR information if a tape is not inserted in the Model 36, if the erase- protection tab on the tape is removed, or if automatic timer recording is in progress.

•During OTR recording, the remaining recording time is displayed for about 5 sec- onds when you press REC/OTR.

•You can check automatic program timer settings during OTR. See “Automatic Timer Recording”.

•Be sure the tape length you select for OTR is long enough to record the entire pro- gram. Even though you can set the Model 36 to record for up to 8 hours, the actual recording time is limited by the tape’s length.

AUTOMATIC TIMER

RECORDING

You can program the Model 36’s automatic timer to select a channel, start recording a broadcast on that channel at a time and tape speed you set, then stop recording at a time you set. You can set up to 8 automatic program timers to record any combination of weekly, daily, or one-time broad- casts on the same or different channels.

You can program the Model 36 to record at any time on a specific day you set within a 1-year pe- riod (ONCE), any time at the same time Monday through Sunday (EVRY DAY), and any time the same day every week (EVRY and desired day of the week).

Note: You cannot set an automatic timer record- ing while you are recording a program.
