Preset Time Periods for ITR Recording.
Note:
Preset recording time counts down until the record-
ing time is over.
Instant (attended) Timer Recording (ITR) lets you
record where you record for a specific preset time
period, instead of recording until the end of tape is
reached. For example, you can record a 30-minute
show using the preset time period.
Turn TV and VCR on.
Place VCR in VCR mode by pressing
TV/VCR on the remote repeatedly until
the VCR indicator appears in the VCR
front panel.
Select channel 3 or 4 at the TV. If you
have connected your VCR to the TV’s
A/V input jacks, select the A/V source
at the TV for a better picture.
Select the channel to be watched and
recorded at the VCR. If you have a
cable box, select the cable box output
channel (usually 3 or 4) at the VCR.
Select cable box channels at the cable
box.
Insert a VHS cassette tape into the
VCR.
Press SP/EP to select recording speed,
if desired. Recording speed is always
SP, unless you select EP.
Press REC/ITR until recording begins.
The REC indicator appears in the VCR
front panel. Recording continues until
you reach the end of the tape, or until
you press STOP to stop recording.
Press REC/ITR repeatedly to select a
preset recording time period. Each sub-
sequent press of REC/ITR increases the
recording time by 30 minutes until you
reach a maximum of 4 hours.

Note:
The SP mode determines how much tape
is left and switches speed from SP to EP, if
necessary, to complete recording the program.
There will be some picture and sound distortion
at the point of the speed change.
