Recording

If you want to record something that you're watching, you can
use basic recording. For more detailed information, refer to the
"Recording" section starting on the next page.
1. Set the tape speed by pressing the SPEED button on the
remote.
2. Press the RECORD button (REC on the remote) to begin
recording.
3. Press STOP to stop recording.
If you just want to pause the recording for a short time
(such as during a commercial), press PAUSE instead of STOP.
• For more information about in-depth recording features,
refer to the next section.
Check the Safety Tab
No matter which recording option you use, you need to make
sure there is a tape in the VCR, and that the tape's safety tab is in
place. You cannot record on a tape with the safety tab removed.
If the safety tab is removed and you want to record over it,
simply cover the hole with vinyl tape.
