Timer Recording (cont’d)

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 settings will be lost.

• If a recordable disc is not on the tray, the indicator flashes and Timer Recording cannot be performed. In some cases, the

indicator appears momentarily around the start point as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

•When all the Timer Recording is completed, the indicator flashes.To play or eject the recorded disc, press [STANDBY/ON y/I] first, and then press [PLAYB] or [OPEN/CLOSE A].

•During Timer Recording or timer standby ( indicator is on the front display), any operations on the unit will not be avail-

able.To make these operations available, cancel the Timer Recording or timer standby first ( indicator disappears).

• To cancel the timer standby mode, press [STANDBY/ON y/I].

• When the Start and the End time are the same, the length of the recording will be set for 24 hours.

• When the disc reaches at the end during the Timer Recording, the unit turns itself off.

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

•If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [STANDBY/ON y/I].

The priority of overlapped settings

This unit records the programs according to priority if the timer programmings are overlapped.The timer programming set previously has priority.

A Timer Recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way. Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.

A programming set previously has priority

When the starting time is same:

A program set previously (PROG. 1) has priority.

The first 30 seconds (at the longest) will be cut off.

When some programming have been made at the end time of the programming currently being recorded:

Note for DVD recording

•When the recording time of two programs are overlapped, or the End time of a pro- gram and the Start time of another is the same, the first 30 seconds (at the longest) of the subsequent program will be cut off.

•If the cut-off portion comes up to one minute or more, this program will be dis- played 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:

If PROG. 1 is a DVD recording program, the beginning of the PROG. 2 may be cut off.
