z Hints
• You can play the recorded program by selecting the
program title in the Title List menu.
• When the start time and the channel or input source to
be recorded are the same but the "Media" setting
differs, the program is recorded to both the DVD disc
and the VHS tape.
• You can also turn on the timer programming menu
from the System Menu. Press SYSTEM MENU to
select "Timer," and select "Timer-Standard."
Notes
• Even when correctly set, the program may not be
recorded if another recording is underway, or other
prioritized timer setting overlaps.
• Before the timer recording starts, "TIMER REC"
flashes in the front panel display.
• The recorder automatically turns off when a timer
recording finishes, even if the recording started with
the recorder turned on.
• The recorder does not record programs with Copy-
Never signals. Such recordings stop after a few
seconds.
