One-Touch Recording 33
OTR (0:30)
CH12
One-Touch Recording (OTR) lets you set an immediate timed
recording 30 minutes to eight hours long. Before you begin:
● Place the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. Press OUTPUT SELECT so
the green VIDEO light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.
● Place the DVD/VCR in VCR position. Press VCR/TV so the
green VCR/TV light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.
● Set up the TV channels at the DVD/VCR. Details are on page 24.
● Select a recording speed (SP, SLP) with the SPEED button.
● Put a tape in the cassette compartment of the DVD/VCR. Make
sure the tape’s record tab is intact and the tape is long enough
to record the program(s).
● If the end of a tape is reached during an OTR, the DVD/VCR
will eject the tape. The DVD/VCR will switch to DVD mode
immediately, and the TIMER light will blink. To let the OTR
continue, insert another tape in the DVD/VCR.
To return to VCR mode, press TIMER on the front of the
DVD/VCR to cancel the OTR, then press OUTPUT SELECT so
the green VIDEO light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.

recording will not take place. Or,
press STOP C (p) to stop the OTR
and press TIMER SET immediately.
The timer recording will take place
