Notes on timer recording | |
If you make a mistake when programming
The TIMER indication blinks and the Timer Record Standby mode is engaged.
The blinking of the TIMER indication differs depending on the programming status.
•When correct programs exist, the indication blinks for about 10 seconds and then lights.
•If mistakes are detected in all programs, the indication blinks for about 10 seconds.
Incorrect programs are canceled automatically. So, if necessary, program the timer again.
If no programs have been set
The TIMER indication blinks for about 10 seconds. The Timer Record Standby mode cannot be engaged.
Program the timer.
If program data overlaps
The Timer Record Standby mode is engaged and the OVER LAP indication blinks for about 10 seconds.
The OVER LAP indication is not shown, however, if the DAILY timer program and WEEKLY timer program overlap. Check the program contents.
●When program data overlaps, the timer recording priority1 is determined as follows.
2The daily timer has priority over the weekly timer. The program with shorter recording time
3(3H>12H>24H) has priority.
