Recording from television programs
There are two methods of recording, Instant Timer Recording (ITR) and Timer Recording.

the correct time.

Recording from RCA
If you wish to record directly from the
AV socket at the front of your Video,
connect the device you wish to
record from using a AV cable and
press AV to display the picture from
the device.
Long Play/Standard Play
Your Video has a Long Play (LP)
feature. This means you can record
twice the amount of information on
each recordable video tape.
For example on a three hour (E180)
tape you would be able to record six
hours worth of programmes.
With Long Play picture and sound
playback quality are slightly reduced
from that of standard play.
Press the LP button if you wish to
change to Long Play (LP), press it
again to select Standard Play (SP).

EP provides three times as much
recording time as SP.
