VCR Basics
Recording
If you want to record something that you’re watching, you can use
basic recording.
1. Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the remote.
(See “Tape Speed” in 
Setting Up the VCR section for information
about tape speeds.)
2. Press the RECORD button to begin recording.
3. Press STOP to stop recording.
If you just want to pause the recording for a short time (like during
a commercial), press PAUSE instead of STOP.
Check the Safety Tab
No matter which recording option you use, make sure there is a tape
in the VCR, and that the tape’s safety tab is in place. You cannot
record on a tape with the safety tab removed.
If the safety tab is removed and you want to record over it, simply
cover the hole with vinyl tape.
