06 Recording
• Timer recording will not start if:
– The recorder is already recording.
– A disc is being initialized, finalized or unfinalized.
• Except when finalizing Video mode discs, timer
recording will start when the operation preventing
timer recording has finished.
• If a disc is playing when a timer recording is due to
start, playback will automatically stop to allow the
recording to start.
• The timer indicator lights in the front panel display
when the timer is active. If the indicator is blinking it
means that there is no disc loaded, or the disc loaded
is not recordable.
• Approximately two minutes before a timer recording
is set to start, the recorder will go into timer recording
standby (assuming that a recordable disc is loaded).
In timer recording standby you cannot use some
functions.
