Programming & Playback Features
VCR Plus+™ Programming
Simplifies VCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode®
programming numbers found in many published television listings.When
recording begins,your VCR automatically selects the proper TV channel
and program length.Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel
guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is
disconnected from its power source.
One-Touch Record
Record up to 8 hours or to the end of the tape with the touch of a
single button.Each touch of the OTR button adds 30 minutes of
additional recording time.
8-Event/1-Year Smart Programming
Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 8 separate
programs over a full 365-day period.No manual setting, adjusting,
or programming of the calendar function is required.
Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming
Program by remote control for unattended recording,with programming
instructions onscreen for visual verification.Onscreen menus lead you
through normal,daily,or weekly programming by program number,
channel to be recorded,start and stop times, speed,and date of
recording by day,month,and year.Pressing the clear button lets you go
back and reprogram over mistakes,and pressing the menu button at the
end of programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.

be necessary.

minutes,and seconds. Now you can advance or return to selected tape
segments in any time increment you desire.
