Tips

•To cancel a Dial Timer setting, press x STOP on the VCR while you are making the setting.

•The programme is recorded in the current tape speed mode. To change the tape speed, press SP/LP before you complete the setting in step 9.

•When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point the tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set VITESSE AUTO. to NON in the OPTIONS-1 menu (page 67).

•To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, see “Checking/changing/cancelling timer settings” (page 60).

Notes

•If eight programmes have already been set using the ShowView system or the MINUTERIE menu, “FULL” appears in the display window for about five seconds.

•The indicator flashes in the display window when you complete the setting in step 9 with no tape inserted.

•If you set the clock using the Auto Clock Set function and REGLAGE AUTO is set to OUI, the clock will adjust itself to the incoming time signal regardless of adjustments made with the Dial Timer. Be sure you have set the Auto Clock Set correctly.

•The station name may not appear if the VCR does not receive station name information signals.
