Recording Speeds
Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed.
• SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording; consequently, fewer
programs can be recorded on the tape. Most pre-recorded, rental tapes are
recorded in SP.
• EP (Extended Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded
in SP.
Recording Pause
This feature allows you to prevent recording short passages of unwanted
material.
Press PAUSE during recording to temporarily stop and start recording (PAUSE
appears on the screen while the tape is paused). The TV/VCR automatically
switches from pause to stop after a few minutes to prevent tape wear.
Types of Recording
Your TV/VCR provides three ways to capture programming:
• Recording allows you to press one button to record a program.
• Timer Recording program the TV/VCR for a daily, weekly, or one time
recording which will automatically start and stop at the times you set.
• Copying and Editing Tapes allows you to record from another VCR or
camcorder.
Timer Recording
Timer recording allows you to program the TV/VCR to record up to five
different programs. This is useful if you plan on being away from home for a
long period of time. Before setting the timer, make sure that the clock is set
correctly.
To set a timer recording.
1. Press MENU to display the main MENU.
2. Press the up or down arrow to select TIMER RECORDINGS and press OK
(the REC TIMER PROGRAM menu appears).
