This model has a TIMER CHECK button that when pressed displays the timer settings in the display window. This function can be used to review and confirm the programming. This can be done whether the recorder is on or off. It can even be done while a recording is in progress. Using this button is a good way to examine multiple timer events and make any adjustments needed (possibly due to overlapping recording times). Does not effect the outcome of a recording in progress. ©Misterßetamax go to homepage
