ATTENTION:
When setting recording timer of a digital (ATSC) program, the
VCR must be set to the standby mode condition 10 minutes
before the start time of a program.
As timer recording is performed based on the time
information of each program, timer standby and timer
recording may not be possible due to deviation in the timer
information of each program if the VCR is set to standby
mode within 10 minutes of the program start time. In such
cases, press [REC] to perform manual recording.
NOTES:
• The EPG function works only when receiving digital programs.
• If the Easy Rec Timer or Easy View Timer is set for a program
whose start time has passed, a message "Check Start Time"
appears on the screen. In this case, exit the EPG screen and
perform manual recording.
