RECORDING – STANDBY ONE-TOUCH RECORDING (OTR
2
)
Standby One-Touch Recording (also called OTR
2
) is a programming method to begin
recording within the next 24 hours and record in 30 minute intervals. Before you use OTR
2
,
make sure the clock has been set correctly.
1. Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the
VCR.
2. Set the speed at which you would like to record by
pressing SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on
the front panel. The related speed will be displayed on the
monitor.
3. Press
PAUSE/
START TIME on the front panel to set
the time when you wish recording to start (within the next
24 hours). The start time is displayed on the front panel.
The first time display is the next half-hour increment from
the current time. For example, if it is currently 2:15, 2:30
(the next half-hour increment) will be displayed. Similarly,
if it is currently 2:40, 3:00 (the next half-hour increment)
will be displayed. Each time you press the button, the
start time is delayed by 30 minutes.
4. Press
REC/
REC LENGTH for each additional 30
minutes you want to add to the OTR
2
timer, up to 4 hours.
If you see “End” on the front panel display, the VCR will
record until the end of the tape.
After 30 seconds, the power will turn off and the programmed
recording light will be lit. The VCR will automatically turn on at
the OTR
2
start time and recording will begin. When the OTR
2
timer reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off
automatically. If the end of the tape is reached before OTR
2
is
finished, the VCR will stop and the power will turn off.
IMPORTANT:
Other programs you have set to
record may be erased if:
•
the start times are before the OTR
2
start time.
•
conflicts with the OTR
2
•
starts within one minute or less after the OTR
2
finishes.
If you turn the power on while your VCR is in
stand-by for the OTR
2
, the OTR
2
programming
will be erased.
