To Select the Recording Duration and
Perform Timer Recording (OTR Recording)
OTR means One-Touch Recording and is called this way,
because you can start recording and select the recording
duration by repeatedly pressing a single button. This is very
convenient, for example when you want to start recording
immediately but need to go out or want to go to bed.
After the selected recording duration has elapsed, recording
stops and the VCR automatically switches off.
To Perform an OTR Recording:
1 Display the VCR picture on the TV.
2 Insert a video cassette with an intact erasure
prevention tab.
3 Press [CH] (20) to select the programme position on
which the TV programme to be recorded will be
broadcast.
4 Press [REC/OTR] (37) to start recording.
5 Press [REC/OTR] (37) repeatedly to select the desired
recording duration.
• Every time you press this button, the recording duration
indicated in the VCR display changes in the following
order.
• For example, if you select [30], the VCR records a
programme for 30 minutes.
Counter display (normal recording mode) # 30 (min.) #
60 (min.) # 90 (min.) # 120 (min.) # 180 (min.) #
240 (min.) # Counter display (normal recording mode)
To Stop the OTR Recording Before the End:
Press [STOP]
(12).
Notes:
• The OTR function works during normal recording.
• When the tape reaches its end during OTR recording, the
VCR will turn itself off.
