Express Recording

Express Recording (XPR) lets you record up to four hours without programming the timer. It also allows you to start (or continue) recording immediately or to delay recording up to 24 hours. When the recording is finished, the VCR will turn off automatically.

Note: Although you do not have to program the timer, the clock must be set before you can Express Record.

Note for Step(_)

The first time you press the START button, XPR will appear in the display and the clock will skip to the next half-hour. Examples: If you press the button at 9:35 AM the clock will skip to 10:00

AM; if you press it at 8:15 PM the clock will skip to 8:30 PM.

Each additional time you press START, the clock will advance another 30 minutes. The time that is

displayed is the time when the recording will start.

After you have set the starting time, you must set LENGTH within 8 seconds. Otherwise, XPR will

disappear and the clock will return to the actual

time. Then you must reset the start time. (See note (_)for setting LENGTH.)

Note for Step(_)

Press the LENGTH button at least twice. The first

keypress only starts the XPR recording; it does not advance the recording length.

Increase the recording time by pressing the

LENGTH button additional times. The clock display shows the amount of recording time you have set. [from 0:30 (30 minutes) to 4:00 (4 hoursI]

The time remaining is constantly displayed during XPR. You can extend the time whenever you want by pressing LENGTH.

When the recording time has expired, the VCR

turns off and the clock display returns to current time.
