Unfortunately, you can not do a programmed recording with the PV-7450 without the remote. You can do a one-touch (current channel/time) recording. To do this, use the channel buttons to select the desired channel and make sure that a tape with the record tab is in the VCR. Then press Rec/Time (the right-most button) several times to select the recording length. Press Stop to end the recording.
To do a programmed recording, you need the Prog button on the remote. (You may be able to find a universal remote that matches the function if you try enough of the codes for Panasonic VCRs.) There is no matching button on the VCR front-panel.
This is shown in the manual for the Panasonic Omnivision PV-7450,
