Recording Features

Your VCR provides many ways to capture programming:
1. Recording lets you press one button to record a program.
2. One Touch Recording (OTR) allows recording to start while a program is being
watched. This feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.
3. Timer Recording program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or one-time recording which will
automatically start and stop at the times you set.

One Touch Recording (OTR)

Use OTR to quickly record the remaining portion of a program being watched. OTR is a great
way to capture the end of a sporting event that has run into overtime or a live broadcast that
runs long.
OTR works in 30-minute increments. You can capture the last 30, 60, 90, etc. minutes of
programming (depending on tape length), up to four hours total.
