OTR information
With the one touch recording 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.
• Your VCR can record in Standard Play (SP) or Long Play (LP). When you
record in SP a 3 hour tape will be able to record 3 hours of programmes.
• When you record in LP a 3 hour tape will be able to record 6 hours of
programmes.
You may notice a slightly lower quality of recording in LP mode, especially when
using the PAUSE or PICTURE SEARCH features.
• If the record protection tab has been removed from a tape or you try to
record onto a bought or rented tape, the tape will eject when you press the
REC/OTR
button.
