Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
Your VCR allows you to make recordings using a
variety of simple methods:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR) start recording
immediately for a set period of time or until the
video cassette runs out.
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.
Your 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.

different channel on your TV.
