•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] / [C ASTOP/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].

•You cannot change the audio language for the timer recording of digital TV broadcasting.

•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.
