Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
Your DVD+VCR allows you to make recordings using a
variety of simple methods:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
start recording immedi-
ately for a set period of time or until the video cassette
runs out.
Your DVD+VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which
enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on
a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up
to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you
will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note
there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality
when using LP.
1. Make sure that you have correctly connected your
DVD+VCR as described earlier in this book.
Press
POWER
to turn on your DVD+VCR.
2. Insert a video cassette with protection tab into your
DVD+VCR.
The video cassette should have the window side
facing up and the arrow facing away from you.
3. Press

or
V

programme number
you wish to record.
You may also directly select programme number
using the
numbered buttons
on the remote control.
4. If you wish to record directly from the SCART or
RCA jacks, repeatedly press AV until the socket you
wish to record from is displayed.
AV 1

the rear of your unit.
AV 2
for recording from EURO AV2 DECODER
jacks on the rear of your unit.
AV 3
for recording from VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN
(Left & Right) jacks on the front of your unit.
5. Press LP if you wish to record in Long Play or
Standard Play.
SP will produce improved picture and sound quality,
however LP will provide twice as much recording
time as SP.
6. To start recording, press the
REC/ITR
button. On the
TV screen you’ll see “REC ” for a few seconds.
Press
REC/ITR
on the remote several times.
Each successive press will increase the record time
by 30 minutes until you reach a maximum of 9
hours.
7. To pause recording (e.g. to skip undesired scenes or
commercials), press
PAUSE/STEP
. On the TV
screen you’ll see “REC PAUSE” for a few seconds.
To resume recording, press the
PAUSE/STEP
but-
ton again.
Press
PAUSE/STEP
to continue recording.
Caution:
If the key
PAUSE/STEP
is pressed for
more than 5 seconds the recording is stopped and
must be continued manually.
8. Press
STOP
to end recording.
Press
EJECT
.
Notes:
If you do not wish to record on a tape (this can hap-
pen quite easily by accident!) remove the protection
tab on the back edge of the video cassette.
It is possible to record on a video cassette with the
record protection tab removed by covering the hole
with self adhesive tape.
Remember you can record one programme while
watching another by starting your instant recording,
press
TV/VCR
to select
TV
mode and then selecting
a different channel on your TV.
