Even if the timer is set, timer recordings cannot be made while recording a programme that has priority.

Even if the timer is set for the same daily or weekly programme, the timer recording cannot be made if it overlaps with a programme that has priority. [Dup.

The beginning of some recordings may not be made when using the PDC/VPS function.

If the TIMER REC indicator flashes on the front panel, check that a recordable disc is inserted correctly and available recording time on the disc is enough.
