Tips
• To cancel a Dial Timer setting, press x (stop) on the VCR while you are making
the setting.
• The programme is recorded in the current tape speed mode. To change the tape
speed, press SP/LP before you complete the setting in step 9.
• When you are recording a programme in the SP mode and the remaining tape
becomes shorter than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed
to the LP mode. Note that some interference will appear on the picture at the point
the tape speed is changed. If you want to keep the same tape speed, set AUTO
LONG PLAY to OFF in the OPTIONS-1 menu (see page 89).
• To check, change, or cancel the programme setting, see “Checking/changing/
cancelling timer settings” on page 73.
