At step 3 above, if you press the record button more than once, a timed recording
will start and ‘TMR’ will light up red in the video recorder display panel (please
read ‘OTR’ on page 32). You can stop timed recording by pressing and holding the
STOP button for at least five seconds, until ‘TMR’ goes off.
◆
You can usually change programme on your television without affecting the
recording, because programmes are normally recorded from the video recorder’s
own tuner. Be careful not to change the programme or channel on any other
equipment you are recording from.
◆
If the video recorder reaches the end of the cassette during a programmed
recording it will eject the cassette. If this happens, you can continue the
recording by loading a fresh cassette and pressing the POWER button on the
video. ‘REC’ will re-appear on the video recorder’s front panel display.
1 Put a cassette into the video recorder. Make sure the safety
tab is in place (see ‘Protecting cassettes from being recorded
over ‘ on page 21).
2 Use the PR- or PR+ button or the programme number buttons
0 to 9 to select the channel you want to record, for example
‘PR01 BBC1’.
3 Press the RECORD/OTR button on the video recorder or the
record (red dot) button on the remote control just once. ‘REC’
will appear in the video recorder display panel.
4 If you want to interrupt the recording briefly, press the
button. ‘REC’ will flash. If the recording is paused for longer
than five minutes, the video recorder will stop to protect the
video cassette.
5 To stop recording, press the or STOP/EJECT button.
◆
To record at long-play speed, press the SP/LP button so that ‘LP’ appears on the
screen and the video recorder display. It is best to do this before you start
recording.
◆
Long play improves the lines of interference during picture scanning (see page
22), but reduces picture and sound quality during normal playback.
◆
To record at standard speed again, press the SP/LP button so that ‘SP’ appears on
the screen and the video recorder display.

You can make the video recorder record at half its normal speed.
This means you can record eight hours instead of four hours on
an ‘E-240’ cassette, and so on. The recording times for different
types of cassette are shown under ‘About video cassettes’ on
page 21.
