Using Standby One-Touch Recording (OTR 2 )
Standby One-Touch Recording (also called OTR 2 ) is a programming method to
begin recording within the next 24 hours and record in 30 minutes intervals. Before
you use OTR
2 , make sure the clock has been set correctly.
1 Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
2 Select the speed at which you would like to record by pressing SP/EP on the
remote control or on the front panel.
3 Set the VCR’s input to Tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel number is
shown on-screen or on the front panel display. If L1 or L2 appears instead of a
channel number, continue to press INPUT until a channel number appears.
4 Press CHANNEL or the number buttons on the remote or the front panel jog
dial to choose the channel to be recorded. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the cable box.
Additionally, if you are using an A/B switch, remember to set the switch to the
correct position.
5 Press PAUSE/%START TIME on the front panel to set the time when you wish
recording to start (within 24 hours). The start time is displayed on the front
panel. The first time display is the next half-hour increment from the current
time. For example, if it is currently 2:15, 2:30 (next half-hour increment) will be
displayed. Similarly, if it is currently 2:40, 3:00 (again, the next half-hour
increment) will be displayed. Each time you press the button, the start time is
delayed by 30 minutes.
6 Press REC/˙REC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes you want to add to
the OTR
2 timer, up to 4 hours. If you see End on the front panel display, the
VCR will record until the end of the tape.
After 30 seconds, the power will turn off and the programmed recording light will be
lit. The VCR will automatically turn on at the OTR
2 start time and recording will
begin. When the OTR 2 timer reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off
automatically. If the end of the tape is reached before OTR 2 is finished, the VCR
will stop and the power will turn off.
IMPORTANT
Other programs you have set to record may be erased if:
• the start times are before the OTR
2 start time
• conflicts with the OTR 2
• starts within one minute or less after the OTR 2 finishes
If you turn the power on while your VCR is in stand-by for the OTR 2 , the
OTR 2 programming will be erased.
To cancel OTR 2
• Turn the power OFF while you are programming the timer.
• Turn the power ON if you have finished programming the timer.
How OTR 2 affects other controls
If you press REC/˙REC LENGTH on the front panel during OTR 2 recording, 30
minutes will be added to the OTR 2 timer. If you press STOP during OTR 2
recording, you erase the OTR 2 programming.
