One-Touch Recording 29 - Philips VR420CAT Owner's Manual

The One-Touch Recording (OTR) feature allows you to set an
immediate timed recording 30 minutes to eight hours long. Before
you begin:
Set up the channels at the VCR.
Select a recording speed (SP, SLP) with the SPEED button.
Put a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape's record tab is intact
and the tape is long enough to record the program(s). If the end
of a tape is reached during an OTR, the VCR will eject the tape
and turn itself off.
Place the VCR in VCR position. (The VCR/TV light will appear
on the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button
once.)

tons or the Number buttons to select the channel you

Press the REC(ord)/OTR button repeatedly until the
desired recording length (30 minutes to eight hours)
appears on the screen. Recording will begin immediately. The
RECORD light and the TIMER light will appear on the display
panel.

Helpful Hints
• To check the time remaining for an
OTR after the OTR has been set,
press the STATUS/EXIT button.
• To change the recording length while
an OTR is in progress, press the
REC(ord)/OTR button until the desired
length appears on the screen.
• If you begin an OTR when another
recording is paused, the OTR will
begin.
• You can not pause an OTR.
• If the preset time for a timer record-
ing comes up during an OTR, the
OTR has priority. A message will
remind you when the timer recording
was scheduled to begin. You may let
the OTR continue; the timer recording
will not take place. Or, stop the OTR
and turn off the VCR immediately.
The timer recording will take place if
you turn off the VCR before the timer
recording's scheduled start time.
