Timer recording FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
• Even though the timer is set, the recorder doesn't start
recording!
Check that the disc loaded or HDD is recordable, not
locked (see Lock Disc on page 84), and that there are
fewer than 99 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
• The recorder won't let me enter a timer program! Why
not?
You can't enter a timer program while a timer
recording is in progress, during timer recording
standby or when the clock isn't set.
• What happens when two or more timer programs
overlap?
Basically, the program with the earlier recording start
time has priority. However, the recorder will start
recording the program with the later start time after
the earlier program is finished. If two programs have
the same times (but different channels, for example),
the program set most recently takes priority.
• I entered a timer program, but the recorder doesn't
confirm whether or not it's OK. Why not?
Timer confirmation only works for DVD recordings
when there is a recordable disc loaded, and it is not
currently recording. Also make sure that the disc is
not locked (see Lock Disc on page 84) and that there
are fewer than 99 titles already recorded. Note that
it's possible that although the timer recording screen
says OK, the recording doesn't complete
successfully because of some other reason, such as
a damaged disc, etc.
