Hints for timer recording• If there is a power failure or the unit is unplugged for
more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all
timer settings will be lost.
• If there is no disc or an unrecordable disc in the tray,
the icon will flash and timer recording will not
occur. Insert a recordable disc.
• When all timer recordings are complete, the
icon flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc,
press [STANDBY/ON y/I], and then press
[PLAY P] or [OPEN/CLOSE O].
• During timer recording or timer-standby mode (
icon appears on the front panel display), no
operations on the unit are available. To make
operations available, cancel the timer recording or
timer-standby mode ( icon disappears).
• To cancel the timer-standby mode, press
[STANDBY/ON y/I].
• If the Start and End times are same, the length of
the recording will be set for 24 hours. If the disc
becomes full during recording, the unit will turn itself
off.
• If two or more programmes overlap, “Overlap” and
the overlapped programme number will appear on
the display.
• If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later
than the current time, the recording will start
immediately after you turn the power off.
Priority of overlapped settings
The unit records programmes according to priority if
timer programmes overlap.
If the starting time is same:
• The timer programming set first (PROG. 1) has
priority.
If programming has been made at the end of the
programming (PROG. 1) currently being recorded:
• The timer programming set first (PROG. 2) has
priority. PROG. 3 will not be recorded.
If the recording time is partially overlapped:
• The timer programming with the earlier start time
(PROG. 2) has priority. PROG. 1 will start after
PROG. 2 recording is complete.
If the recording time entirely overlaps:
• The shorter timer programming (PROG. 1) is not
recorded.
Note for DVD recording
• If the recording time of two programmes overlap, or
the End time of a programme and the Start time of
another is same, the first 30 seconds (at the most)
of the subsequent programme are cut off.
If the End time of the programme currently being
recorded and the Start time of the subsequent
programme are same:
• If PROG. 1 is a DVD recorded programme, the
beginning of PROG. 2 may be cut off.
* If the cut off time exceeds 1 minute, the error
number “E40” will appear in the timer programming
list.
