If there is a problem with your Timer Recording, the Timer icon
will flash on the Front Panel Display and an error message will
appear on the On-Screen Display. Once you correct the error, the
event will begin if there is still time remaining for that event. You
can also clear the event in the Event Summary screen.

The videocassette is missing the Record Safety Tab.
• Insert a video cassette with the Record Safety Tab intact, or

4 Overlapping Events
Two or more events are programmed to occur at the same time:
• When you program a new event, the DVD-VCR checks all timer
events for conflicts. If two events overlap, you will be prompted to

• If events overlap, the first event will be completely recorded, then
the next event will start and the remainder of that event will be
recorded.

How to Set a Timer RecordingComplete Program Record, or CPR, helps to ensure you won’t run
out of tape before your Timer Recording is complete. When Auto is
selected, the Timer event begins to record in SP; the DVD-VCR
then calculates how much time is remaining on the tape and adjusts
the record speed to SLP if necessary to fit the entire event. If there
is not enough tape to record the entire event, the DVD-VCR will
record in SLP until the end of the tape is reached.
6 Set Event Type
Use the number buttons (1–4) to set the type of event, i.e. how
often the event will be recorded. The default setting is “1–Time”.
1 1–Time – The event will be recorded only once.
2 Monday-Friday – The event will be recorded every
weekday.
3 Weekly – The event will be recorded once a week.
4 Always – The event will be recorded every single day.
7 Set Recording Source
Use the number buttons (1–3) to set the Record Source. The
default setting is the current tuner (television) channel.
1 CH # – Records from the Tuner. Use the number buttons (0–9)
to set the channel number.
2 Line 1 – Records from the front line inputs
3 Line 2 – Records from the rear line inputs.
8 Set Recording Speed
Use the number buttons (1–3) to set the Recording Speed. The
default setting is Auto.
1 Auto – Complete Program Record (see sidebar).

record 2 hours.
3 SLP – Super Long Play. Delivers maximum recording time.
A T-120 tape will record 6 hours.
