Preventing use of the recorder before a timer recording (child lock)
You can make all the front panel and remote control buttons inoperative using the child lock feature. This is useful when you set a timer recording and want to make sure that the timer settings are not changed before recording has finished.

Timer recording FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
•Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn’t start recording!
Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not locked (see Lock Disc on page 109), and that there are fewer than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
•The recorder won’t let me enter a timer program! Why not?
You can’t enter a timer program if the clock isn’t set.
•What happens when two or more timer programs overlap?
Basically, the program with the earlier recording start time has priority. However, the recorder will start recording the program with the later start time after the earlier program is finished. If two programs have the same times (but different channels, for example), the program set most recently takes priority.
If VPS/PDC is active for two timer programs that are programmed to start at the same time, then the program that actually starts first takes priority.
