Hi,
If you download the latest version of software for the VCR (North
American
version) you will have both a sleep timer and fast forward and rewind
facility, which jump from 1 to 2 to 5 minute intervals.
This upgrade has been available for a long time but has not been released
by
RNIB because they say it has a bug. Mine has been faultless for well
over
a
year and makes a big difference.
RNIB also say this download is 'illegal and users may be liable for the
cost
of replacing the VCR if it all goes wrong.
Sorry for good and bad news!
Best wishes,
Ray
