When Timer Recording Times Overlap

Problem
Timer recording times overlap
NOTE
• When multiple timer programs have been set and the timer recording times overlap or the ending time of the first timer
program overlaps the starting time of the second timer program, disc information is written and the second timer program
starts after the first timer program is finished. Consequently, the start of the second timer program is delayed by a
maximum of about 1 minute.
