one touch recording
With the one touch recording (OTR) feature you can make recordings quickly and easily.
Make sure your VCR is properly installed and all the channels are tuned in the correct order (see page 9).
Note:
Your VCR can record
in Standard Play (SP)
mode, or Long Play (LP)
mode. When you record in
SP, a 3-hour tape will be
able to record up to 3 hours
of programmes. When you
record in LP, a 3-hour tape
will be able to record up to 6
hours of programmes.
You may notice a slightly
lower quality of recording in
LP mode, especially when
using the pause/still or
picture search features.
If the record protection tab
has been removed from a
cassette or you try to record
onto a pre-recorded or
rented tape, the tape will
eject when you press the
rec/otr button.
OTR record time:
If you
wish to record for a set
amount of time (e.g. 1 hour),
you can set OTR to record
only for that set length of
time.
Each time you press the
rec/otr button, record time
is increased as follows:
1st press
continuous
2nd press
30 mins
3rd press
1 hour
4th press
1 hour 30 min.
5th press
2 hours
6th press
3 hours
7th press
4 hours
8th press
5 hours
9th press
6 hours
e.g. five presses will start
recording immediately but
stop after 2 hours.
You can add to the OTR
recording time at any point
by pressing the rec/otr
button again.
