OTR Hints
• To ensure that you record all of the desired
program, you might want to set the record-
ing stop time 30 minutes later than the
scheduled end of the program.
• You can program OTR information only
while a tape is recording. You cannot pro-
gram OTR information if a tape is not
inserted in the Model 28, if the erase-
protection tab on the tape is removed, or if
automatic timer recording is in progress.
• During OTR recording, the remaining
recording time is displayed on the TV
screen for 5 seconds.
• When the recording stop time is reached
during OTR recording, the Model 28 turns
off.
• To turn off the TV screen while recording,
press MONITOR .
• You can check automatic program timer
settings during OTR. See “Automatic Timer
Recording (Timer Numbers 1-7)” on this
page.
• Be sure the tape length you select for OTR
is long enough to record the entire pro-
gram. Even though you can set the Model
28 to record for up to 8 hours, the actual
recording time is limited by the tape’s
length.
• To cancel OTR while the Model 28 is
recording, press STOP/EJECT on the Model
28 (or STOP on the remote control).
