Recording Features
Your VCR provides many ways to capture programming:
1.
Recording
lets you press one button to record a program.
2.
Express Recording (XPR)
allows recording to start while a program is being watched. This
feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.
3.
Timer Recording
program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or a one-time recording which will
automatically start and stop at the times you set.
Express Recording (XPR)
Use XPR to quickly record the remaining portion of a program being watched. XPR is a great
way to capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that
runs long.
XPR works in 30-minute increments. You can capture the last 30, 60, 90, etc. minutes of
programming (providing on tape length), up to four hours total.
To Activate XPR:
1.
If necessary, turn on the VCR and tune it to the channel with the desired
programming.
2.
If necessary, insert a tape with its safety tab in place into the VCR. Make
sure it is cued to record at the proper starting point.
Note: To override the preferred tape speed setting, press the SPEED button on the
remote control repeatedly to toggle through SP or SLP choices.
3.
Press the RECORD button on the remote control or VCR front panel to
start recording.
4.
Repeatedly press the RECORD button to set up the recording duration.
Each press of the RECORD button adds 30 minutes of recording time.
The VCR automatically turns off after recording for the amount of time
set.
To stop capturing XPR, press and hold the STOP button on the remote
control or VCR front panel for several seconds until “STOP” appears
on the VCR front panel and/or on-screen.
