Recording
Your VCR allows you to make recordings connect-
ing to a TV equipped with audio out and video out
sockets.
Your VCR start recording immediately for a set
period of time (ITR : Instant Timer Recording) or
until the video cassette runs out.
Your VCR incorporates Long Play (LP) which
enables you to record up to twice the amount of
time on a video cassette. For example an E-180
will record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play
(SP); using LP you will be able to record up to 360
minutes. Please note there will be a slight loss in
picture and sound quality when using LP.
1. Connect the AUDIO(L/R)/VIDEO (VCR IN AV1) on
the rear panel of this unit or AUDIO IN
(L(MONO)/R)/ VIDEO IN on the front of this unit to
the audio out and video out sockets on the TV
using the audio and video cables.
2. Insert a video cassette with protection tab into
your VCR.
The video cassette should have the window side

happen quite easily by accident!) remove the
protection tab on the back edge of the video
cassette.

record protection tab removed by covering the hole
with self adhesive tape.
