Hints For Timer Recording - Magnavox MWR20V6 Owner's Manual

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 settings
will be lost.
• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, "DVD" on the front panel display flashes and
Timer Recording cannot be performed. In some cases, "DVD" flashes momentarily around the Timer starting time as the unit
attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
• If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment, "VCR" on the
front panel display flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.
• If you press [STANDBY-ON
case, you cannot change the mode between DVD and VCR. You cannot change any settings using [SETUP] or edit discs.
• After step 9 on page 30, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either
DVD or VCR) for another recording by pressing [STANDBY-ON
[SOURCE] on the front panel, or [DVD] or [VCR] on the remote control. Note that you cannot change channels after Timer
Recording started. You can use all recording/recording pause/OTR functions. However, the unit will begin receiving channel
signals for Timer Recording  minutes before the programmed starting time. Unless the program that you are currently
recording using the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on the same channel with the one programmed for Timer
Recording, the unit prioritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be automatically stopped. If the channels set for
Timer recording and the current recording are same, the current recording will continue without interruption.
• When all the Timer Recording is completed,
and then press [PLAY B] or [OPEN/CLOSE A].
• If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer
Recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by pressing
[TIMER SET] during timer standby or stop recording by pressing [STOP C] on the front panel during Timer Recording.
• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for 4 hours. When the disc or tape reaches the end
during the recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by pressing
[TIMER SET], insert a new disc or tape, and then press [TIMER SET] again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit
automatically ejects the tape when it reaches the end. You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.
• When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be
cleared for redoing.
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press [TIMER SET].
• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the same
channel and time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.
