Notes:
•The VCR can record only one broadcast at a time. If you set the VCR’s timer to record broadcasts on different channels that start at the same time, the VCR only records the broadcast that has the lowest timer num- ber (see “Checking/Changing Timers” on Page 37).
•If two timer settings overlap, the one that starts first has priority. The VCR begins recording the second broadcast after the set time for the first broadcast is over.
•The VCR must be off at the start time you set for it to begin an automatic timer recording.
•If there is a power failure of more than 1 minute during a timer recording, the recording does not resume after power is restored.

However, if you have an EDS channel in your area and set the VCR to automatically set the clock from the EDS signal, the clock is reset within 10 minutes after power is restored, and the VCR records at the set time(s).
