Recording TV programs using the Dial Timer

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 (page 63).
