Recording Features
Your VCR provides many ways to capture programming:
1.

Press one button to record a program from the current VCR channel.
2.
Express Recording
(XPR)
Allows recording to start while a program is being watched.
This feature automatically stops recording after a designated period of time.
3.

Program the VCR for a daily, weekly, or one-time recording which will
automatically start and stop at the times you set.
4.
Timer Recording with the VCR Plus+® System
Program the VCR by entering a
PlusCode® programming number found in most TV program listings.
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 four hours total.
To Activate XPR:
1.
If necessary, turn on the VCR and tune it to the channel with the desired
programming.
2.
If necessary, insert a tape with its safety tab in place into the VCR. Make
sure the tape is cued to record at the proper starting point.
Note
: To override the set recording speed, press the remote control’s SPEED
button repeatedly to toggle between SP and SLP choices.
3.
Press the RECORD button on the remote control (REC on the VCR front
panel) to start record mode.
4.
Repeatedly press the RECORD button to set up the recording duration.
•
Each press of the RECORD button adds 30 minutes of recording time.
•
The VCR automatically turns off after recording for the set duration.
•
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.
