Setting Up the Timer
If you’ve entered the Timer Setup screen by selecting a future program from a program guide, the Day, Start and Stop times, Station, and program title are displayed automatically. However, if you make any changes to the Timer Setup options, the program title disappears (although the Timer will still work as you’ve set it).
You can select from two ways to automate VCR recording of DSS programs:
Setting the DSS Timer and then setting your VCR timer.
Setting the DSS Timer and using the Sony VCR Mouse to automatically control the VCR (see “Connecting the VCR Mouse” on page 20 for details).
To set the timer:1 Press the MENU button to bring up the Main Menu.
2 Select TIMER SETUP. The Timer Setup screen appears.
