Setting the Automatic Timer
Note: Before you start, be sure you set the Mod-
el 28’s clock to the correct date and time (see
“Setting the Clock” on Page 19). If you have not
yet set the clock, the Model 28 automatically en-
ters the clock setting mode before it displays the
automatic timer program screen.
1. Insert a blank cassette, or one that you
want to record over, into the cassette com-
partment. The Model 28 automatically turns
on.
Note: If a cassette was loaded when you
last turned off the Model 28, you must press
POWER to turn on the Model 28.
2. Press MENU. The main menu appears on
the TV screen.
3. Press 1 on the remote control to select
TIMER PROGRAMMING . The timer pro-
gram screen appears on the TV screen.
Notes:
• If the clock setting screen appears
instead of the timer program screen, you
must first set the clock before you can
continue. For more information, see “Set-
ting the Clock” on Page 19.
• Although program number 8 is displayed,
it is used for the today timer and you can-
not select it in Step 4. For more informa-
tion, see “Today Timer Recording (Timer
Number 8)” on Page 33.
This screen displays the following informa-
tion about each timer program you set.
• PROG. (program number)
Note: If you have not set any program
numbers, all program numbers flash. If
you already set any program numbers,
only the empty program numbers flash.
• DATE (month and day of the program)
• START TIME (start time of the pro-
gram)
• END TIME (stop time of the program)
• CHANNEL (channel to record)
• TAPE SPEED (tape speed during re-
cording.
4. Use the number buttons (1-7) on the
remote control to select the desired pro-
gram number, then press
SELECT .
• If you select a program number with a
program already assigned, you can
change any displayed information. Or, if
it is correct, press
MENU . The program
information disappears.
• If you select an empty program number,
a blank program screen appears. You
can add information to the screen to pro-
gram the timer.
5. Press 1 , 2 , or 3 on the remote control to
select the desired program mode (ONCE,
DAILY (MON-FRI), or WEEKLY).
6. Use the number keys on the remote control
to enter the program’s month and day. For
example, press
0 , 2 , 1 , and 5 to set Febru-
ary 15.
Notes:
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0 –
for example, 01 , 02 , etc.
• If you set a month and day that is before
the Model 28’s current clock date, the
Model 28 sets the month and day for the
next year.
