OTR (One Touch Recording) This function enables you to set a recording length simply by pressing [REC/OTR] on the unit. Make sure ... • The unit must be turned on. • Insert a cassette tape with its erase-prevention tab in place. (If necessary, rewind or fast forward the tape to the point at which you want to begin recording.) NOTES: • You cannot start OTR with the remote control. • Recording starts immediately when [REC/OTR] is pressed. • When [REC/OTR] is pressed 18 times, the unit returns to the normal recording mode. • To stop the OTR operation, press [STOP/EJECT P N] on the unit or on the remote control. • To show the remaining time, press [DISPLAY] on the remote control so that "OTR" appears on the TV screen. (It will show up momentarily then disappear.) • Recording stops when the display shows 0:00. • Please note that in the SLP mode maximum recording time, assuming the tape is started at the beginning, is 8 hours using T-160 (or 6 hours using T-120). • If the tape runs out before the end time, the unit will switch to the stop mode immediately, ejects the tape and turns itself off. • Even if [POWER] is pressed during OTR, the unit continues recording. 1 Select the channel to be recorded Press the Number buttons or [CHANNEL K/L].
