Programming Priorities

When you have set up several timed recordings, it may occur that some of
their times overlap. For example, this can happen if you are set up to
record shows on a daily or weekly basis, and a special show comes on
that you try to record during the same time slot.
Shows with Same Starting Time
If the overlapping programs start at the same time, the VCR records in
order that they were programmed. If the shows are all scheduled to start
at 7 AM, the VCR starts with the first program at 7 AM, and switches to
what remains of the second program when the first program is done
recording, and so on.
Shows with Different Starting Times
If the programs start at different times, the VCR records the show
scheduled to start earliest, records the entire show, then moves on to the
show with the next earliest starting time.
To avoid recording only bits and pieces of different overlapping shows,
review your programming and delete those shows that are not essential.
