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 FULL 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 61).
