VIDEO Operation (Continued)
The DVD/VCR Receiver allows you to make recordings using a variety of simple methods:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR): Starts recording immediately for a set period of time or until the video cassette runs out.
VIDEO Plus+ System Recording greatly simplifies entering the date, channel, start and end times of a Timer Recording.
Timer Recording: You may record at a later time (up to 1 month from the present). Up to 7 of these automatic recordings may be set.
The DVD/VCR Receiver incorporates Long Play (LP) which enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on a video cassette. For example an

Notes
If you do not wish to record on a tape (this can happen quite easily by accident!) remove the protection tab on the back edge of the video cassette.
It is possible to record on a video cassette with the record protection tab removed by covering the hole with self adhesive tape.
Remember you can record one programme while watching another by starting your instant recording, pressing TV/VIDEO to disappear VIDEO indicator in the display window and then selecting a different channel on your TV.
