Hints for Timer Recording

Before you

If there is a power failure or the unit is unplugged for more than 1 hour, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.

If there is no disc or an unrecordable disc in the tray, the

icon will flash and the timer recording will not occur. Insert a recordable disc.

If there is no tape or a tape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment, the VCR indicator on the front panel flashes and the timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable tape.

When all timer recordings are complete, the icon flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc, press [T-SET], and then press [PLAY B] or [OPEN/CLOSE EJECT A].

The timer recording cannot be 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.

You cannot make any DVD operation during DVD timer recording.

You cannot make any VCR operation during VCR timer recording.

If the Start and End times are same, the length of the recording will be set for 24 hours. If the disc or tape becomes full during recording, the unit will turn itself off. To continue recording, press [T-SET]to cancel the timer-standby mode, insert a recordable disc or tape and press [T-SET]again.

If two or more programmes overlap, “Overlap” and the overlapped programme number will appear on the display.

If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later than the current time, the recording will start immediately after you press [T-SET].

If a videotape ends during the timer recording, the unit will automatically stop, eject the videotape, and turn itself off. To continue recording, insert a recordable tape.
