Timer recording (cont’d)
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 settings will be lost.
•If a disc is not on the tray, the DVD indicator on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable disc.
•If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment, the VCR indicator on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.
•When all the timer recording is completed, the 
indicator flashes.To play or eject the recorded disc (or the video- tape), press POWER button first and then press PLAY B or OPEN/CLOSE A (or STOP/EJECT C A) button.
•The timer recording is not performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programmings with the same
channel and time both in DVD and VCR, the programming that has priority will be recorded. |
|
| |
• During timer recording or timer standby ( | indicator is on the front display), any operations on the unit will not be | ||
available.To make these operations available, cancel the timer recording or timer standby first ( |
| indicator disappears). | |
•To cancel the timer standby mode, press POWER button.
•When the Start and the End time are the same, the length of the recording will be set for 24 hours.When the disc
reaches at the end during the recording, the unit turns itself off.
• When the programmed Start and End time are earlier than the current time, the recording will be set on the same date in the next year.
• If your programmed Start time for DVD recording is within 2 minutes from the current time, the power will turn on for recording standby right after you turn the power off. For a videotape recording, the power will turn on shortly before the Start time.
• If a videotape ends during timer recording, the unit will stop, eject the videotape, and turn itself off.
•When two or more programs are overlapped, “Overlap” will appear in the display.
•If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you turn the power off.
The priority of overlapped settings
This unit records the programs according to priority if the timer programmings are overlapped.The timer programming set previously has priority.
A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way. Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
A programming set previously has priority When the starting time is the same:
A program set previously (PROG. 1) has priority.
When some programming have been made at the end time of the programming currently being recorded: A program set previously (PROG. 2) has priority.

When the recording time is partially overlapped: PROG. 1 will start after PROG. 2 is complete to be recorded.
However, PROG. 1 will be recorded if you turn the power off for timer standby within 2 minutes to the Start time for PROG. 1.

When the recording time is entirely overlapped:
However, if you turn the power off for timer standby within 2 minutes to the Start time for PROG. 1, PROG. 1 will be recorded first, and the recording of PROG. 2 will start after the recording of PROG. 1 is completed.

Note
•When the recording time of two programs are overlapped, or the End time of a program and the Start time of another is the same, the first 30 sec- onds (at the longest) of the subsequent program will be cut off.
When the End time of the programming currently being recorded and the Start time of the subsequent program are same:
If PROG. 1 is a DVD recording program, the beginning of the PROG. 2 may be cut off. The amount of time cut off differs depending on the recorded media.
For example, if both PROG. 1 and PROG. 2 are DVD recordings, the first 30 seconds (at the longest) will be cut off PROG.
