Operation with tape
Instant Timer Recording (ITR)
Your DVD+VCR allows you to make recordings using a
variety of simple methods:
Instant Timer Recording (ITR) start recording immedi-
ately for a set period of time or until the video cassette
runs out.
Your DVD+VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which
enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on
a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up
to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you
will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note
there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality
when using LP.
1. Make sure that you have correctly connected your
DVD+VCR as described earlier in this book.
Press POWER to turn on your DVD+VCR.
2. Insert a video cassette with protection tab into your
DVD+VCR.
The video cassette should have the window side
facing up and the arrow facing away from you.
3. Press 3 3 or 4 4 to select the programme number you
wish to record.
You may also directly select programme number
using the numbered buttons on the remote control.
4. If you wish to record directly from the SCART or
RCA jacks, repeatedly press AV until the socket you
wish to record from is displayed.
AV 1 for recording from EURO AV1 SCART jacks on
the rear of your unit.
AV 2 for recording from EURO AV2 DECODER
jacks on the rear of your unit.
AV 3 for recording from VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN
(Left & Right) jacks on the front of your unit.
5. Press LP if you wish to record in Long Play or
Standard Play.
SP will produce improved picture and sound quality,
however LP will provide twice as much recording
time as SP.
6. Press REC/ITR on the remote to start recording.
Press REC/ITR on the remote several times.
Each successive press will increase the record time
by 30 minutes until you reach a maximum of 9
hours.
7. Press PAUSE/STEP to avoid recording unwanted
scenes.
Press PAUSE/STEP to continue recording.
Tapes can be paused for up to 5 minutes; RECP will
be displayed when a tape is paused. After 5 minutes
your DVD+VCR will stop recording to prevent
damaging the tape or your DVD+VCR.
8. Press STOP to end recording.
Press EJECT.
Notes:
If you do not wish to record on a tape (this can hap-
pen quite easily by accident!) remove the protection
tab on the back edge of the video cassette.
It is possible to record on a video cassette with the
record protection tab removed by covering the hole
with self adhesive tape.
Remember you can record one programme while
watching another by starting your instant recording,
press TV/VCR to select TV mode and then selecting
a different channel on your TV.
