•The program is recorded in the current tape speed. To change the tape speed, press SP/EP before you complete the setting in step 9 (page 40).

•When you are recording a program in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the EP mode. Note that some noise will appear on the picture when the tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the tape speed, set VEL. AUTO. CINTA to NO in the OPCIONES menu (page 62).

•To check, change, or cancel the program setting, see “Checking/changing/canceling timer settings” (page 50).

Recording TV programs using the Dial Timer 41

Recording TV programs using the timer

Notes

•If eight programs have already been set using the PROG./VERIF. menu, “LLENO” appears in the display window for about five seconds.

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

•The indicator flashes in the display window when you complete the setting in step 9 (page 40) with no tape inserted.

About the Demonstration Mode

The Dial Timer function has a Demonstration Mode that allows the user, such as a salesperson, to enter more than eight examples of timer settings when demonstrating the use of the Dial Timer. It cancels the LLENO notice which appears if eight programs have already been set. Do not use the Demonstration Mode for making timer recordings. Doing so may cause the settings to be inaccurate.

To activate the Demonstration Mode

Press X PAUSE on the VCR while turning the DIAL TIMER. “DEMO” appears in the display window for a few seconds.

To cancel the Demonstration Mode

Turn the power off and unplug the AC power cord. Although the Demonstration Mode is canceled, the timer settings entered while using the Demonstration Mode will remain. Be sure to manually cancel the timer settings before you use the Dial Timer or any other timer method after reconnecting the AC power cord (see page 50).
