Timer Recording Troubleshooting

Even if a Timer Recording is set, the DVD Recorder+VCR will not record if:

•No disc is loaded.

•A non-recordable disc is loaded.

•The disc is locked; see page 27.

•There are already 49 titles recorded on the disc.

You cannot enter a Timer Recording if:

•A recording is already in progress.

•The start time has already passed.

•Eight Timer Recordings have already been set.

If two or more Timer Recordings overlap:

•The earlier program takes priority.

•When the earlier program finishes, the later program starts.

•If two programs are set to start at exactly the same time, the program entered first takes priority.

Confirmation is not possible when:

•The disc is locked; see page 27.

•There are already 49 titles recorded on the disc.

NOTE: If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete successfully, even if the Check field shows “Rec. OK.”

Recording Priority

•Timer Recordings and One Touch Recordings have the same priority but they have lower priority than manual recording. During manual recording, Timer Recordings and One Touch Recordings will be ignored.
