When this is set, the VCR records the second audio program. 
Using the Instant Recording Timer (IRT) 
The Instant Recording Timer (REC/IRT button on the VCR) will let you make a 
simplified timer recording without having to use the programming timer. In order to set 
the IRT properly the clock must be set before starting. 
Follow the steps 1 through 5 on "Basic Recording Steps" on page 33. 
After the recording has started, press the REC/IRT button again to indicate the 
recording time on the display. 
You can set the recording time length, which increases by intervals of 30 minutes, one 
hour, one and half hours, two hours, three hours, and four hours, (i.e. 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 
2:00, 3:00, 4:00) by continually pressing the REC/IRT button. While you are recording, 
the time remaining is shown in the display. 
At the end of your recording the display will read "0:00"; recording will then 
automatically stop and the VCR will turn itself off. 
To stop recording while in the IRT mode, press the POWER button and then press the 
STOP button (this can be done either on the VCR or with the remote control) within 10 
seconds. 
 
Setting the VCR to Record Later 
With the delayed recording feature, you can set this VCR so that it automatically comes 
on and records programs whenever you like - without your being around! You can 
record a program one time only, or you can automatically record a show every weekday 
or every week at the same time. You can preset as many as 8 timed recordings at once.  
We suggest you try all the different ways of programming the VCR when you have 
some leisure time, so you can learn how it works. That way, when an important show is 
going to be on that you really want to record, you'll be confident that your timed 
recording setup will work. 
Types of Delayed Recordings

DAILY
