IRT (Instant Recording Timer)
This function enables you to set the recording length simply by pressing the REC/IRT button
on the VCR.
• Please refer to the connection you are using, through pages 10, 11, or 12 on
"ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS" before continuing.
• It is not possible to perform this function with the remote control.
• The "PWR." and the "VCR" indicator must appear on the VCR's digital display.
• Turn on the TV and set the TV to channel 3 or 4. Now set the CH3/CH4 switch on the back of
the VCR to match the channel selected on the TV.
• 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.)
