If the program time has past, the PAST TIME PRO- GRAMMED message will appear on the TV screen. Return to the incorrect program and program it with the correct time.
If you have entered a past date, the timer recording will be performed on that date of the next year. Additional programs may be entered by repeating steps
Cable Users: If your cable hookup is via a TV converter box, you can program multiple recordings only on the converter box output channel. This is because the converter determines what channel you view through your DVD+VCR.

If you are finished programming and you want to set the DVD+VCR to record the programs you have entered,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSERTED A TAPE INTO THE DVD+VCR. The DVD+VCR is now set to record the preset programs.

If the power fails or the DVD+VCR is unplugged from the AC outlet, the correct clock time and timer settings are kept in memory for approximately 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the clock and program timer must be reset when power is restored. Reset the clock according to the instructions.
After setting up a timer recording, recording will start if no other timer recordings are scheduled to occur at the same time (see “Program Priority” at right).
Program Priority
If the starting and ending times of two or more timer
recordings overlap on the
same day, priority is given to
the earliest recording. For
example, in the diagram at
left Program number 2 will not be recorded until
Program number 1 is finished. The first part of Program number 2 will not be recorded. Likewise, Program num- ber 3 will not be recorded until Program number 2 is fin- ished, and so on.
