The Timer List menu (page 54) appears. The c indicator lights up in the front panel display, and the recorder is ready to start recording.

If the c indicator flashes in the front panel display, a recordable disc is not inserted. Insert a recordable disc and check that there is enough disc space for the recording.

If timer settings overlap, a message appears. To change or cancel a timer recording, select “Edit” from the Timer List (page 54).

If timer settings overlap

The program that starts first has priority and the second program starts recording only after the first program has finished. If the programs start at the same time, the program listed first in the menu has priority. If the end time of one setting and the start time of another timer setting is the same, the beginning of the program that starts later will be cut.

If the remaining disc space is not enough for the current recording, the recorder automatically adjusts the recording mode. Select “AUTO” for “Mode” when setting the timer.

zHints

You can play the recorded program by selecting the program title in the Title List menu.

When the start time and the channel or input source to be recorded are the same but the “Media” setting differs, the program is recorded to both the DVD disc and the VHS tape.

You can also turn on the timer programming menu from the System Menu. Press SYSTEM MENU to select “Timer,” and select “Timer-Standard.”

You can use the number buttons and the dot (·) button to select a channel.

You can select a video source from the LINE 1 IN or LINE 2 IN jacks, using the INPUT button.

Notes

To record a cable or satellite program, turn on the cable box or satellite receiver and select the program you want to record. Leave the cable box or satellite receiver turned on until the recorder finishes recording.

Even when correctly set, the program may not be recorded if another recording is underway, or other prioritized timer setting overlaps.

Before the timer recording starts, “TIMER REC” flashes in the front panel display.

The recorder automatically turns off when a timer recording finishes, even if the recording started with the recorder turned on.

The recorder does not record programs with Copy- Never signals. Such recordings stop after a few seconds.

Digital closed captions cannot be recorded (page 35).

For audio settings, “Stream 1” is usually recorded (page 35).

When you set the Digital Rating, a program with a digital rating beyond your limit setting cannot be recorded correctly (page 103).
