Recording TV programs using the Dial
Timer
The Dial Timer function allows you to make
timer recordings of programs without turning
on your TV. Set the recording timer to record
up to eight programs that will be broadcast
within a month using the DIAL TIMER. The
recording start time and recording stop time
can be set at one minute intervals.
Before you start….
