Quick Set Recording (QSR)

Your VCR allows you to make recordings using a
variety of simple methods:
Quick Set Recording (QSR) start recording imme-
diately for a set period of time 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. Make sure that you have correctly connected your
VCR as described earlier in this book.
Press OPERATE to turn on your VCR.
2. Insert a video cassette with protection tab into your
VCR.
The video cassette should have the window side
facing up and the arrow facing away from you.
3. Press 3 3 or 4 4 to select the programme number
you wish to record.
You may also directly select programme number
using the numbered buttons on the remote control.

with self adhesive tape.

watching another by starting your instant recording,
