Timer Recording Troubleshooting

Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not record when:

There is no disc loaded and there is not free space on the HDD.

A non-recordable disc is loaded and there is not free space on the HDD.

[Disc Protect] option is set to [ON] in the Setup menu and there is not free space on the HDD. (see page 20).

Power is turned on.

There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R), 49 titles (DVD+R, DVD+RW) recorded on the disc and there are already 255 titles recorded on the HDD.

You cannot enter a timer program when: A recording is already underway.

The time you’re trying to set has already passed. There are already 16 timer programs set.

If two or more timer programs overlap:

The earlier program takes priority.

When the earlier program finishes, the later program starts.

If two programs are set to start at exactly the same time, the program entered first takes priority.

If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete successfully. In this case even though the Check field shows “Rec. OK”, it may not be.
