TIMER RECORDING

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.), timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable disc.

If a cassette tape with an erase-protection tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no cassette tape in the cassette compartment, timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable cassette tape.

During timer recording or timer standby mode, any operations on the unit will not be available. To make these operations available, press [STOP C] to stop the timer recording or [TIMER SET] to cancel timer standby mode.

If you press [TIMER SET] and turn on the unit while either DVD or VCR is in the timer standby mode, you can change the mode between DVD and VCR. You can change any settings using [SETUP] or edit discs.

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.

To cancel the timer standby mode, press [TIMER SET].

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 [TIMER SET] is pressed.

The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set 2 programming with the same channel and time in both devices, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.

“Press TIMER SET 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.

When the starting time is the same:

A program set previously (PROG. A) has priority.

Note for DVD recording

When the recording time of 2 programs are overlapped, or the end time of a program and the start time of another program is the same, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the subsequent program will be cut off.

If the cut-off portion comes up to 3 minutes or more, this program will be displayed with errors number E40 in the timer programming list.

When the end time of the programming currently being recorded and the start time of the subsequent program are same:

The beginning of the PROG. B may be cut off.
