VCR O P E R AT I O N

Your recording time options are: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour and 30 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours, or 4 hours.

You can increase the length of time you want to record at any time during the recording process by pressing the REC button again and choosing additional time.

If you want to stop recording before the time is up, press the REC button until the OTR display shows “0:00.” The recording stops after a few seconds. Or, press the POWER button on the front panel, then immediately press the STOP/EJECT button.

Note: In DVD mode, the OTR function doesn't operate with the REC button on the front panel. A normal recording only operates.

Recording at a Later Time

You can set the built-in timer for unattended recording of up to eight different TV programs. The timer can turn on the TV at the time you select, record for a selected length of time, and then turn off the TV – all without you being there.

You can also choose to record a program one time, daily (every day, Monday through Friday), or weekly (the same day every week.)
