Priority rules for overlapped presettings
When preset TV programs are overlapped, the following three
rules are used to determine a higher priority, If more than one of
the three rules are met, the rules are applied in the order; 1,2,
then 3,
Rule 1: Presetting for recording is given a higher priority over
presetting for auto channel select,

Rule 2:
If two presettings are overlapped, presetting with
earlier start time is given a higher priority, If two
presettings are sequential, the last portion of the first
program may not be recorded for 60 seconds (or
less) because recording of the second program is
started at the exact start time,
Program A I
Program B
The shaded area is not executed,
Rule 3: If presettings at the same start time are overlapped,
presetting with a higher list number is given a higher
