Notes
 To prevent recording errors:
Set a scheduled recording period slightly
longer than the actual program (to make
sure the program is recorded in full).
 Be sure to perform step 5 before the
scheduled recording time. When the
unit is turned off, "" lights on the
unit's display to indicate scheduled
recording standby has been activated.
 "" fl ashes when the unit cannot go to
scheduled recording standby. (e.g., a
recordable disc is not in the disc tray)
It does not fl ash if Quick Start is off.
 When scheduled recordings are set
to start one immediately after another,
the unit cannot record the beginning
of the later program.
If two scheduled recording times overlap,
the recording that started fi rst always has
priority. The second recording will start
only after the fi rst recording has fi nished.
 Scheduled recording cannot be
executed on both DVD and VHS
drives at the same time.
 When starting time for a scheduled
recording is the same, the recording
that you programmed later has priority.
 Depending on the Daylight Savings
Time (DST) settings for this unit,
scheduled recordings may be
affected when the seasons change.
