be used for recordings. Insert a recordable DVD (DVD±R,
DVD±RW, or DVD+R Double Layer).
– The timer recording overlaps with another timer recording.
– If you ignore this warning, the programmed recording with the
earlier start time will start fi rst.

.– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you
selected the wrong programme number. Check the TV channels
stored.

setting.

(DVDs or videotapes) onto a recordable DVD, "COPY PROT"
