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 Use the
cursor position. on page 87), and that there are fewer
than 99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
• The recorder won't let me enter a timer program! Why
REC for
not?
You can't enter a timer program if 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, only one of them will be recorded, so
it is best to set one of them to Cancel Once. See
Skipping a regular timer program on page 43.
