Recording Features

Your DVD/VCR provides many ways to record programming. Basic recording is explained in detail on
page 26. The following recording techniques are also available.
• Recording – lets you press one button to record a program.
• Express Recording (XPR) – allows recording to start while a program is being watched. This feature
automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.
• Timer Recording – program the DVD/VCR for a daily, weekly, or one-time recording which will
automatically start and stop at the times you set.

Express Recording (XPR)

Use XPR to quickly record the remaining portion of a program being watched. XPR is a great way to
capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long. XPR
works in 30-minute increments. You can capture the last 30, 60, 90, etc. minutes of programming
(depending on tape length), up to 9 hours total.
To Activate XPR:
1. Turn on the DVD/VCR and tune it to the channel with the desired programming.
2. Insert a tape with its safety tab in place into the DVD/VCR. Make sure it is cued to record at the
proper starting point.
Note: To override the preferred tape speed setting, press the SPEED button on the remote control repeatedly to
toggle between SP and SLP choices.
3. Press the RECORD to start recording.
4. Repeatedly press RECORD to set up the recording duration.
• Press RECORD until RECORD TIME 0:00 appears.
• Each time you press the RECORD button, 30 minutes is added.
• The DVD/VCR automatically turns off after it has recorded the set amount of time.
• To stop an XPR recording, press and hold STOP for several seconds until STOP appears on the
screen.

Timer Recording

You can set up to 8 different TV programs to be recorded. Before a Timer Recording will work, the VCR
needs to be set up correctly.
• VCR's clock must be set correctly.
• If you've set up the VCR for a cable box for all channels, the output of your cable box appears in
the channel item of the Timer Recordings menu.
• PROGRAMS OVERLAP appears if two programs whose times overlap are entered.
• The timer indicator appears in the display when you turn off the VCR and a timer recording has
been set. The timer indicator flashes if there is no tape in the VCR when a timer recording has been
set and the unit is turned off.
• For a cable box or satellite receiver, turn it on and tune it to the channel you want to record before
the recording is to begin.
• Insert a tape with its safety tab in place and enough tape to record the program.
