Overlapped timer settings

When the recording period of 2 or more programs are

overlapped, the unit gives priority to the higher-numbered

program.

Example 1

•Program 1 is set for 14:00 to 17:00 with the normal recording
rate of 5 pps.
•Program 2 is set for 15:00 to 16:00 with the normal recording
rate of 1 pps.
Under this condition, the unit will give priority to Program 2 for
the duration of the overlapping period, from 15:00 to 16:00.
The unit will operate as shown in the chart below.
14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00
14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00
In Program 1, recording rate is set to
5 pps, time period is set from 14:00 to 17:00.

Recording is not performed if there is an error in the setting. To prevent such errors for timer recording, this unit notifies

errors using methods shown below. If there is an error in the setting, take the necessary procedures shown below.

Example 2

•Program 1 is set for 14:00 to 17:00 with the normal recording
rate of 5 pps.
•Program 2 is set for 15:00 to 16:00 with the SKIP setting.
Again, the unit gives priority to Program 2 for the duration of
the overlapped period. As shown in the illustration below, the
unit activates the Skip setting from 15:00 to 16:00.
