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 121), 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 for a digital broadcast, 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 56).
