To Select the Recording Duration
and Perform Timer Recording
(OTR Recording)
OTR means One-Touch Recording and is called this way,
because you can start recording and select the recording
duration by repeatedly pressing a single button. This is very
convenient, for example when you want to start recording
immediately but need to go out or want to go to bed.
After the selected recording duration has elapsed, recording
stops and the VCR automatically switches off.
To Perform an OTR Recording:
1
Display the VCR picture on the TV.
2
Insert a video cassette with an intact erasure prevention
tab.
3
Press the Channel buttons N to select the programme
position on which the TV programme to be recorded will
be broadcast.
4
Press the REC/OTR button g to start recording.
5
Press the REC/OTR button g repeatedly to select the
desired recording duration.
Every time you press this button, the recording
duration indicated in the VCR display changes in the
following order.
For example, if you select “30”, the VCR records a
programme from that moment on for 30 minutes.
To Stop the OTR Recording Before the End:
Press the Stop button 9.
Note:
This function also works during Direct TV Recording.

To Prevent Accidental Erasure of Recorded
Contents
When you record again onto a previously
recorded video cassette, the previous
recording is automatically erased and
replaced with the new recording.
Therefore, to prevent accidental
erasure of the recorded contents,
break out the erasure prevention tab
after recording.
Use a screwdriver or similar tool to break out the tab.
To Record Again onto the Video Cassette with a Broken
Out Erasure Prevention Tab:
If you insert a video cassette with a
broken out erasure prevention tab and
press the REC button J, the “
1”
indication flashes on the VCR display to
indicate that recording is not possible.
In this case, cover the tab hole with two layers of adhesive
tape.
The adhesive tape substitutes for the prevention erasure tab
and makes it possible to record again on this cassette.

If you record in the S-VHS ET format, the picture quality
may not be very good with certain types of cassettes.
To avoid negative surprises, we recommend that you make
a trial recording and confirm that the quality of the recorded
picture is satisfactory.
To ensure optimum picture quality, we recommend the use
of high-quality type cassettes.
We recommend applying the supplied S-VHS ET sticker to
the label on any cassette that you have recorded using the
S-VHS ET function so that you will be able to distinguish
such tapes from VHS tapes.
The following table lists the playback formats that are
compatible with this VCR’s recording standard.
