Introduction
Key Features Overview
Your VCR is equipped with features that will add to your recording experience. The following
information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the
rest of the VCR’s features and how to use them.
Remote Control
Description: The VCR’s remote control can operate most RCA, GE, and
Proscan VCR’s.
Requirements: Point the remote control at the VCR and press VCR, then
POWER, to see if the VCR can be operated.
One Touch Recording (OTR)
Description: OTR quickly records the remaining portion of a program already
in progress. OTR is a great way to capture the end of a sporting event that has
run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long.
Requirements: Repeatedly press the RECORD button on the VCR front panel or
REC/OTR on the remote control to set the desired duration of time to record.
Timer Recordings
Description: Your VCR allows you to program up to eight different future
broadcasts to be recorded. You can catch a one-time, daily, or weekly
broadcast to record.
Requirements: The VCR’s clock must be set correctly. A tape with its safety
tab in place and enough tape to record a program must be inserted into the
VCR. For a cable box or satellite receiver, turn it on and tune it to the channel
you want to record before the recording is to begin.
Front Audio/Video Input Jacks
Description: The VCR has Audio/Video (A/V) input jacks on both the front and
rear of the unit (there are output jacks on the rear panel only). The front A/V
jacks make it easy to plug in an external A/V device, such as a camcorder.
Requirements: Make sure that all A/V connections are snug. To see a connected
device’s image, turn the VCR to its Video Line Input by pressing the remote
control’s INPUT button. Select L1 to select the jacks on the back of the VCR or
select L2 to select the jacks on the front of the VCR.
