Using Advanced Recording Features

Using One-Touch Recording

One-touch recording (OTR) lets you record television programs with the touch of a button. You can even program the length of time (up to four hours) that you want to record.

1

Insert a video cassette tape, set the tape speed, and select the channel you want to record.

▼	For information, see “Recording

Programs As You Watch” on page 5.7

The VCR won’t record on a video cassette tape if the record safety tab

on the tape has been removed. For information on the record safety tab, see page A.3.

2

Press the REC button repeatedly until the time you want appears.

The VCR begins recording.

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.
