VIDEO Operation (Continued)
The DVD/VCR Receiver allows you to make recordings
using a variety of simple methods:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR): Starts recording imme-
diately for a set period of time or until the video cassette
runs out.
VIDEO Plus+ System Recording greatly simplifies
entering the date, channel, start and end times of a
Timer Recording.
Timer Recording: You may record at a later time (up to
1 month from the present). Up to 7 of these
automatic recordings may be set.
The DVD/VCR Receiver 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.

record protection tab removed by covering the hole
with self adhesive tape.
