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.

When recording to a DVD, if a disc is not inserted, the unit will perform the alternate recording to the HDD (refer to page 44).

When a timer recording is completed, the unit will ask you whether to turn off the unit if there is no timer recording which starts within 4 minutes, except under conditions listed below.

-During playback of HDD or DVD.

-While displaying menus or information on the screen.

The unit will be turned off automatically if you select “Yes” or if you do not reply in 1 minute.

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

If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [OK] at step 8 on page 44.

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

Timer recording whose recording time exceeds 12 hours cannot be made.

It is prohibited to turn off the unit from 4 minutes before the programmed starting time.

It is prohibited to change channel from 15 seconds before the programmed starting time.

[REC I] does not work from 2 minutes before the programmed starting time. If it comes to 2 minutes before the starting time during regular or one-touch timer recording, the recording in progress will be stopped.

Playback of DVD is prohibited from 2 minutes before the programmed starting time when the recording media is DVD. If it comes to 2 minutes before the programmed starting time during DVD playback, the playback will be stopped.

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.

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:
