Timer Recording Troubleshooting
Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not record when:
•There is no disc loaded.
•A
•[Disc Protect] is set to [ON] in the Disc menu (see page 26).
•There are already 99 titles
You cannot enter a timer program when:
•A recording is already underway.
•The time you’re trying to set has already passed.
•There are already 8 timer programs set.
If two or more timer programs 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 pri- ority.
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not com- plete successfully. In this case even though the
Check field shows [Rec. OK], it may not be.
