Timer Recording

You can program the unit to record up to 12 programs within
a month in advance. Daily or weekly program recordings are
also available.
Before recording, make sure:
• Set the clock before setting a timer programming.
• Insert a recordable disc with enough recordable space or
a cassette tape with an erase-protection tab.
Note(s)
• If you have not yet set the clock:
The entry screen for the clock setting will appear instead of the
timer programming list in step 1. Continue with step 4 in "Clock
Setting" (p.24) before setting a timer programming.
• Use [0 / 1] to move the cursor to the left and the right in the
entry screen for the timer programming.
• If a basic recording or one-touch timer recording is in progress
on one component (e.g., VCR) and the timer recording set for
the other component (e.g., DVD) is about to begin, the unit
automatically switches to the programmed channel for timer
recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time, and
the recording in progress (for VCR) will be cancelled UNLESS
their recording channels are the same. If their recording
channels are the same, the timer recording will start without
canceling the recording currently in progress. In this case, the
recording of the same channel will be made on both DVD and
VCR.
• You cannot make a program whose recording time exceeds 12
hours.
• Cancel timer-standby mode by pressing [TIMER SET] before
operation for either DVD or VCR. When finished operating,
press [TIMER SET] to resume timer-standby mode.
• In timer-standby mode, you can turn On the power and use
the component (VCR or DVD) which is not currently timer-
programmed.
