TIMER RECORDING

Introduction

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 programming will be lost.

If a disc is not inserted or if a inserted disc is not

recordable (finalized DVD-RW/-R, finalized DVD+RW, a fully recorded disc, etc.), on the front panel display

flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, will appear momentarily around the start point as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.

When all the timer recording is completed, flashes. To play back or eject the recorded disc, press

[I/y ON/STANDBY] first, then select the recorded title and press [PLAY B], or [OPEN/CLOSE A] to remove the disc.

During timer recording or timer standby mode ( will appear), any operations on the unit will not be available. To make these operations available, press [STOP C] or

[C STOP] to stop the timer recording or

[I/y ON/STANDBY] to cancel timer standby mode ( will disappear).

To cancel the timer standby mode, press [I/y ON/STANDBY].

When the starting and the ending time are the same, “Exceeds 12 hours” appears and the program setting will not be accepted.

When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted.

If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after [I/y ON/STANDBY] is pressed.

“Press ON/STANDBY for timer recording” will appear on the TV screen 5 minutes before the programmed starting time.

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 or start from the middle. Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
