recording has finished.

Off (page 117).

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 Lock Disc on
page 100), and that there are fewer than
99/999 titles already on the DVD/HDD.
• The recorder won't let me enter a timer
programme! Why not?
You can't enter a timer programme if the
clock isn't set.
• What happens when two or more timer
programmes overlap?
Basically, the programme with the earlier
recording start time has priority.
However, the recorder will start
recording the programme with the later
start time after the earlier programme is
finished. If schedule to record two
programmes have the same times (but
different channels, for example), then
only one of the two programmes will be
recorded. In this event you should cancel
the scheduled recording of the lesser
important programme. If one of the
overlapping programmes is a regular
timer programme for a digital broadcast,
you may choose 'Cancel Once' in order
to avoid having it overlap with a
separately scheduled programme (see
Skipping a regular timer programme on
page 47).
