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
program OTR information if a tape is not
inserted in the Model 36, 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 for about 5 sec-
onds when you press
REC/OTR .
• You can check automatic program timer
settings during OTR. See “Automatic Timer
Recording”.
• 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
36 to record for up to 8 hours, the actual
recording time is limited by the tape’s
length.
