Recording TV programmes 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 
programmes 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 mains lead.  Although the Demonstration 
Mode is cancelled, 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 mains 
lead (see page 64).
