OTR (One Touch Recording)

This function enables you to set a recording length simply by pressing the REC/OTR button on the TV/VCR.

Make sure ...

TV/VCR power must be turned on.

Insert a cassette tape with its erase prevention tab in place. (If necessary, rewind or fast forward the tape to the point at which you want to begin recording.)

NOTES:

This function CANNOT be done from the remote control.

Recording starts immediately when the REC/OTR button is pressed.

When the REC/OTR button is pressed 18 times, the TV/VCR returns to the Normal Recording mode.

To stop the OTR operation, press the STOP button on the TV/VCR or on the remote control.

To show the remaining time, press the DISPLAY button on the remote control so that "OTR" appears on the TV screen. (It will show up momentarily then disappear.)

Recording stops when 0:00 is reached.

Please note that in the SLP mode maximum recording time, assuming the tape is started at the beginning, is 8 hours using T-160 (or 6 hours using T-120).

If the tape runs out before the end time, the TV/VCR will switch to the Stop mode immediately, ejects the tape and turns itself off.

Press the number buttons on the remote control or the CHANNEL or button.

Remember: If the TV/VCR is connected to a cable box or satellite box, the TV/VCR must be on CH3 or CH4, then the channel to be recorded is selected on the cable box or satellite box.
