One-touch Timer Recording (OTR)

Your VCR allows you to make recordings using a
variety of simple methods:
One-touch Timer Recording (OTR) start record-
ing immediately for a set period of time or until the
video cassette runs out.
Your DVD+VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which
enables you to record up to twice the amount of
time on a video cassette. For example an E-180 will
record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP);
using LP you will be able to record up to 360 minutes.
Please note there will be a slight loss in picture and
sound quality when using LP.

It is possible to record on a video cassette with the
record protection tab removed by covering the hole
with self adhesive tape.
Remember you can record one programme while
watching another by starting your instant recording,
press TV/VCR to select TV mode and then selecting a
different channel on your TV.
