Recording Features

Your VCR provides many ways to record programming. Basic recording is explained in detail on
page 10. The following recording techniques are also available.

•

 lets you press one button to record a program.

•

Express Recording

(XPR) –

This feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.

•

Timer Recording –

 program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or onetime 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- or 60-minute increments. You can capture the last 30, 60, 90, etc.
minutes of programming (depending on tape length), up to four hours total.

To Activate XPR:

1.

Turn on the VCR and tune it to the channel with the desired
programming.

2.

Insert a tape with its safety tab in place into the 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 button on the front of the VCR (or REC on the
remote control) to start recording.

4.

Repeatedly press REC to set up the recording duration.

•

Press REC until 

RECORD TIME 0:00

 appears.

•

Each press of the REC button adds 30 or 60 minutes of
recording time.

•

The VCR automatically turns off after it has recorded the set
amount of time.

•

To stop an XPR recording, press and hold the STOP button on
the remote control or VCR front panel for several seconds until

STOP

 appears on the VCR on-screen display.
