Recording
Your new VCR offers a wide variety of recording options that take full advan-
tage of our advanced electronics. First, you can learn how to record a current
broadcast. Then, in another section of this book called Timer Recording, you
can 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
24.
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.
4
Set the VCR's input to tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel number
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. To record channels from a PRIMESTAR
INPUT until a channel number with the PRIMESTAR light (
the front panel display.
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 that the VCR cannot control, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the cable box, not
on the VCR.
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 auto-
matically 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.
