(Stop) on the front panel (while the recorder is stopped) for three seconds until the display shows UNLOCKED.

•Even if you make Child Lock settings, this unit can still be controlled by the remote of a connected plasma television. If you do not want this unit to be able to be controlled by another component when you have set a Child Lock, turn this unit’s HDMI Control to OFF (page 115).

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 100), and that there are fewer than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.

•The recorder won’t let me enter a timer programme! Why not?

You can’t enter a timer programme if the clock isn’t set.

•What happens when two or more timer programmes overlap?

Basically, the programme with the earlier recording start time has priority. However, the recorder will start recording the programme with the later start time after the earlier programme is finished. If schedule to record two programmes have the same times (but different channels, for example), then only one of the two programmes will be recorded. In this event you should cancel the scheduled recording of the lesser important programme. If one of the overlapping programmes is a regular timer programme, you may choose ‘Cancel Once’ in order to avoid having it overlap with a separately scheduled programme (see Skipping a regular timer programme on page 45).
