Recording TV programmes using the Dial Timer

The Dial Timer function allows you to make timer recordings of programmes without turning on your TV. Set the recording timer to record up to eight programmes, including settings made with other timer methods, that will be broadcast within the next month. The recording start time and recording stop time can be set at one minute intervals.

Before you start...

Insert a tape with its safety tab in place. Make sure the tape is longer than the total recording time.

Refer to “Index to parts and controls” for button locations.
