Tips
• To cancel a Dial Timer setting, press x STOP on the VCR while you are making the setting.
• The program is recorded in the current tape speed. To change the tape speed, press SP/EP
before you complete the setting in step 9 (page 67).
• When you are recording a program in the SP mode and the remaining tape becomes shorter
than the recording time, the tape speed is automatically changed to the EP mode. Note that
some noise will appear on the picture when the tape speed is changed. If you want to keep
the tape speed, set AUTO TAPE SPEED to OFF in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu (page
92).
• To check, change, or cancel the program setting, see “Checking/changing/canceling timer
settings” (page 80).
Notes
• If eight programs have already been set using the VIDEO Plus+/VIDEO Plus+ GOLD system
or the TIMER SET/CHECK menu, “FULL” appears in the display window for about five
seconds.
• If you are using the Cable Mouse, you cannot select “L1” or “L2.”(SLV-N81 only)
• If you set the clock using the Auto Clock Set function, the clock will adjust itself to the
incoming time signal regardless of adjustments made with the Dial Timer. Be sure you have
set ACS correctly.
• If you are setting the clock for the first time or “–:– –” appears in the display window, you
cannot set the clock to February 29
th
using the Dial Timer. Please use the Auto Clock Set
function to set the VCR to this day.
• The
indicator flashes in the display window when you complete the setting in step 9
(page 67) with no tape inserted.
