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, TIMER REC indicator flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, TIMER REC indicator will light up momentarily around the start point as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

•When all the timer recording is completed, TIMER REC indicator flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc, press [STANDBY-ONy] first, then select the recorded title and press [PLAY B], or [OPEN/CLOSE A] to remove the disc.

•During timer recording or timer standby mode (TIMER REC indicator will light up), any operations on the unit will not be available. To make these operations available, press [STOP C] on the front panel to cancel the timer recording or [STANDBY-ONy] to release timer standby mode (TIMER REC indicator will light off).

•To cancel the timer standby mode, press [STANDBY-ONy].

•When the starting and the ending time are the same, the length of the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc becomes full during the recording, the unit turns itself off.

•When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be cleared for redoing.

•If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you turn the power off.

•The timer recording for digital TV cannot record any audio language other than English.

The Priority of Overlapped Settings

•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 two 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. B

The first 2 minutes (at the longest) will be cut off.

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.
