Express Recording
Express Recording {XPR) lets you record up to four
hours without programming the timer. It also allows you
to start (or continue) recording immediately or to delay
recording up to 24 hours. When the recording is finished,
the VCR will turn off automatically.
Note; Although you do not have to program the timer,
the clock must be set before you can Express Record.
Only two buttons are used to Express Record:
