Editing While Recording
You can edit while recording,
selecting only those scenes you
want to record from the current

especially helpful if you want to
record a program without
commercials.

recording and that the record
indicator light on the front
panel is lit.

stop recording.
After ten minutes in pause
mode, the TV/VCR stops the
tape automatically and
switches to TV mode to
protect the video heads. If
this happens, press REC to
resume recording.
3 To resume recording, press
P./STILL again.

One-touch Recording
One-touch Recording (OTR) lets
you record television programs
with the touch of a button. You
can 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.
✔ The TV/VCR won’t record if the
record safety tab on the tape
has been removed. For more
information, see page 33.
2 Press the REC button on the
remote control three times.
The OTR time appears in the
upper left corner.
Your recording time options
are: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1
hour and 30 minutes, 2 hours,
3 hours, or 4 hours.
3 Press the REC button on the
remote control repeatedly
until the time you want
appears.
The TV/VCR begins recording.
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. You can also press
POWER on the front panel,
then press STOP/EJECT.
Timer Recording
You can set the timer to record
up to six different programs. The
timer can turn the TV/VCR on at
the time you select, record for a
selected length of time, and then
turn off.

through Friday), or weekly (the
same day every week).
