Hints For Timer Recording - Magnavox MDR161V 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
programming will be lost.
• If no disc or a non-recordable disc is inserted, timer
recording cannot be performed. In some cases,
appear momentarily around the start time as the unit
attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
• If a cassette tape with an 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 switch
itself to standby mode. To continue recording, insert a
recordable tape.
• When all of the timer recordings have 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 would like to use functions
other than recording under such conditions, cancel timer
recording by pressing [TIMER SET]
or stop recording by pressing
panel of the unit during timer recording.
• To cancel timer standby mode, press [TIMER SET].
• When the starting and ending times are the same,
"Exceeds 12 hours" appears and the program setting will
not be accepted.
• When the disc or cassette tape becomes full during the
recording, the unit switch itself to standby mode.
• 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] in step 9 on page 28.
• The timer recording cannot be performed for 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 priority.
• "Press TIMER SET for timer recording" will appear on the
TV screen 5 minutes before the programmed starting
time.

The Priority of Overlapped Settings
• The 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
most) 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.

Notes for DVD recording

program will be cut off.
• If the cut-off portion is 3 minutes or more, this program will be
displayed with error number E40 in the timer programming list.
