immediately for a set period of time or until the
video cassette runs out.
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.

Notes
• If you do not wish to record on a tape (this can happen
quite easily by accident!) remove the protection tab on
the back edge of the video cassette.
• It is possible to record on a video cassette with the
record protection tab removed by covering the hole
with self adhesive tape.
• Remember you can record one programme while
watching another by starting your one-touch recording,
press TV/VCR to select TV mode and then selecting a
different channel on your TV.
