TIMER RECORDING

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 programming will be lost.

•If a disc is not inserted, TIMER REC indicator flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, TIMER REC indicator will light up momentarily around the start point as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

•When all the timer recording is completed, TIMER REC indicator flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc, press [STANDBY-ONy] first, then select the recorded title and press [PLAY B], or [OPEN/CLOSE A] to remove the disc.

•During timer recording or timer standby mode (TIMER REC indicator will light up), any operations on the unit will not be available. To make these operations available, press [STOP C] to cancel the timer recording or [STANDBY-ONy] to release timer standby mode (TIMER REC indicator will light off).

•When the starting and the ending time are the same, “Exceeds 12 hours” appears and the program setting will not be accepted.

•When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted.

•If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [STANDBY-ONy] at step 8 on page 42.

•You cannot change the audio language for the timer recording of digital TV broadcasting.

The Priority of Overlapped Settings

•Timer program which has the earlier start time will be placed first in the timer program list, and be given priority over the programs with the later start time when timer programs overlap.

•When timer programs overlap, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the later recording will be cut off.

•When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.

•A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the middle.

•Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.

When the starting time is the same:

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

PROG. A

PROG. B

actual recording

PROG. A PROG. B

The first 2 minutes (at the longest) will be cut off.

Note for DVD recording

•When the recording time of 2 programs are overlapped, or the end time of a program and the start time of another program is the same, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the subsequent program will be cut off.

•If the cut-off portion comes up to 3 minute or more, this program will be displayed 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:

The beginning of the PROG. B may be cut off.
