step7. Exit the menu screen.

step8. Press the TIMER button on the front panel of the unit.

The TIMER indicator lights up.

When setting a holiday in holiday setting and select “Holiday” in the day of the week settings, the program selected with “Holiday” is given priority over the other programs.

Overlapped timer settings

When the recording period of 2 or more programs are over- lapped, the unit gives priority to the higher-numbered pro- gram.

Example 1

Line 1 is set for 14:00 to 17:00 with the normal recording rate of 5 pps.

Line 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 Line 2 for the duration of the overlapping period, from 15:00 to 16:00. The unit will operate as shown in the chart below.
