Recording
Your new VCR offers a wide variety of recording options that take
full advantage of our advanced electronics. You can learn how to
record a current broadcast. And in another section of this book
called Timer Recording, you can also learn how to program your
VCR to record at a later time and day.
Recording a Current Broadcast
To record a TV program that is currently playing:
1
Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
2
Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format
on page 21.
3
Set the speed at which you would like to record by pressing
SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on the front
panel. The selected speed will be displayed on the TV screen.
4
Set the VCR's input to tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel
number is shown on-screen. If External L1 or L2 appears,
continue to press INPUT until a channel number appears.
5
Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL
on the remote control or on the front panel or the number
buttons on the remote. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the
cable box, not on the VCR. Additionally, if you are using an A/B
switch, remember to set the switch to the correct position.
6
Press REC on the remote or REC/˙ REC LENGTH on the
front panel.
Recording will start. When the VCR reaches the end of the tape, it
will automatically rewind to the beginning of the tape and stop.
• You can stop recording at any time by pressing STOP or
PAUSE on the remote or on the front panel.
• To resume recording from STOP, press REC.
• To resume recording from PAUSE, press PAUSE.
You cannot use REC/˙ REC LENGTH on the front panel
to resume recording from PAUSE.
If you pause the VCR for more than five minutes, recording
will stop automatically to protect the tape.
If you record in extended play (EP), you will only be able to
play the tape on a VCR equipped for EP play, such as this
one.
If you attempt to record on a tape that has had its erasure
prevention tab removed, the VCR will eject it. To record
over such a tape, simply place a piece of vinyl tape over
the opening.
