TIMER RECORDING

Hints for Timer Recording

•If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer programming will be lost.

•If a disc is not inserted, "DVD" on the front panel display flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In

some cases, will appear momentarily around the start time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

•If a cassette tape with a erase-protection tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no cassette tape in the cassette compartment, “VCR” on the front panel display flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable cassette tape.

•If a cassette tape ends during the timer recording, the unit will automatically stop, eject the cassette tape, and turn itself to the standby mode. To continue recording, insert a recordable tape.

•When all the timer recordings are completed, flashes. Press [TIMER SET] to release the unit from the timer standby mode.

•If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or timer recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel timer recording by pressing [TIMER SET] during timer standby or stop recording by pressing [CSTOP] / [CASTOP/EJECT] on the front panel of the unit during timer recording.

The Priority of Overlapped Settings

•To cancel the timer standby mode, press [TIMER SET].

•When the starting and the ending time are the same, “Exceeds 12 hours” appears and the program setting will not be accepted.

•When the disc or cassette tape becomes full during the recording, the unit turns itself to the standby mode.

•If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [TIMER SET] at step 9 on page 32.

•The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set 2 programmings with the same channel and time in both devices, the program which is set first will have the priority.

•“Press TIMER SET for timer recording” will appear on the TV screen 5 minutes before the programmed starting time.

•Timer program which has the earlier start time will be placed first in the timer program list, and be given priority over the programs with the later start time when timer programs overlap.

•When timer programs overlap, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the later recording will be cut off.

•When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.

•A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the middle.

•Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.

When the starting time is the same:

A program set previously (PROG. A) has priority.

PROG. A

PROG. B

actual recording

PROG. A PROG. B

The first 2 minutes (at the longest) will be cut off (when recording to DVD only).

Note for DVD recording

•When the recording time of 2 programs are overlapped, or the end time of a program and the start time of another program is the same, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the subsequent program will be cut off.

•If the cut-off portion comes up to 3 minute or more, this program will be displayed with error number E40 in the timer programming list.

When the end time of the programming currently being recorded and the start time of the subsequent program are same:

The beginning of the PROG. B may be cut off.
