you have connected your VCR to the A/V input jacks
on the TV, you should select the A/V source at the TV
for improved picture performance.

Recording By Using Preset Time Periods
Instant Timer Recording (ITR) is a method of attended
recording where you record for a specific preset time period,
instead of recording until the end-of-tape is reached. For
example, you may want to record a program for only 30
minutes because that is when the program ends.
1. Perform steps I through 7 above for Instant Recording.
2, Press ITR or REC/ITR repeatedly to select a preset
recording time period. Each subsequent press of ITR or
REC/ITR increases the recording time by 30 minutes
until a maximum of 4 hours is reached.
