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 programming will be lost.
If a disc is not inserted, "DVD" on the front panel display
•
flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In
some cases,
will appear momentarily around the
start time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a
recordable disc.
If a cassette tape with a erase-protection tab is not
•
in the cassette compartment or there is no cassette
tape in the cassette compartment, "VCR" on the front
panel display flashes and timer recording cannot be
performed. Please insert a recordable cassette tape.
If a cassette tape ends during the timer recording, the
•
unit will automatically stop, eject the cassette tape, and
turn itself to the standby mode. To continue recording,
insert a recordable tape.
When all the timer recordings are completed,
•
flashes. Press [TIMER SET] to release the unit from the
timer standby mode.
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 [C ] / [C A] on the front panel of
the unit during timer recording.
To cancel the timer standby mode, press [TIMER SET].

The Priority of Overlapped Settings
Timer program which has the earlier start time will be placed first in the timer program list, and be given priority over
•
the programs with the later start time when timer programs overlap.
When timer programs overlap, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the later recording will be cut off.
•
When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.
•
A timer recording of lower priority will be cancelled or start from the middle.
•
Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
•
When the starting time is the same:

•
"Exceeds 12 hours" appears and the program setting
will not be accepted.

•
than the current time, the recording will start right after
you press [TIMER SET] at step 9 on page 32.
The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD and

VCR at the same time. If you set 2 programmings with
the same channel and time in both devices, the program
which is set first will have the priority.

•
on the TV screen 5 minutes before the programmed
starting time.
