Timer Recording Troubleshooting

Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not
record when:
•There is no disc (or tape) loaded.
•Anon-recordable disc (or tape) is loaded.
•Disc Protect is set to [ON] in the Disc menu
(see page 26).
•There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD-RAM), 49 titles (DVD+RW, DVD+R(DL))
recorded on the disc.
You cannot enter a timer program when:
•Arecording is already underway.
•The time you’re trying to set has already
passed.
•There are already 16 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
priority.
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not
complete successfully. In this case even though the
Check field shows [Rec. OK], it may not be.
