Notes on timer recording

≥ "F" flashes on the unit's display for about 5 seconds when
the unit cannot go to timer recording standby. (e.g. a
recordable disc is not in the disc tray).
≥ Timer recordings begin when the set time is reached even
when recording or when playing.
≥ If the unit is turned on when timer recording begins, it
remains turned on after recording finishes. It does not turn
off automatically. You can turn the unit off during timer
recording.
≥ If the unit is not put in the timer recording standby mode at
the last 10 minutes before the programmed timer recording
starting time, the "F" flashes on the unit's display. In this
case, insert a recordable disc to put the unit in the timer
recording standby mode.
≥ If you are making consecutive recordings that will start one
after the other, the beginning of the later programme
cannot be recorded.
e.g. Programme 1 10:00–11:00
Programme 2 11:00–12:00

≥ If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap,
the recording that starts first always has priority, and the
recording of the later programme will start only after the
first timer recording has finished.

when the unit is in standby mode.
≥ You cannot eject a disc while the unit is in timer recording
standby mode.
