If timer settings overlap

The program that starts first has priority and the
second program starts recording only after the first
program has finished. If the programs start at the
same time, the program listed first in the menu has
priority. If the end time of one setting and the start
time of another timer setting is the same, the

beginning of the program that starts later will be
cut.

To change or cancel timer recording

See “Changing or Canceling DVD Timer Settings
(Timer List)” on page 53.

To use the Rec Mode Adjust function

If the remaining disc space is not enough for the
current recording, the recorder automatically
adjusts the recording mode. Select “AUTO” for
“Mode” when setting the timer.

Hints

• You can play the recorded program by selecting the

program title in the Title List menu.

• When the start time and the channel or input source to

be recorded are the same but the “Media” setting
differs, the program is recorded to both the DVD disc
and the VHS tape.

• You can also turn on the timer programming menu

from the System Menu. Press SYSTEM MENU to
select “Timer,” and select “Timer-Standard.”

Notes

• Even when correctly set, the program may not be

recorded if another recording is underway, or other
prioritized timer setting overlaps.

• Before the timer recording starts, “TIMER REC”

flashes in the front panel display.

• The recorder automatically turns off when a timer

recording finishes, even if the recording started with
the recorder turned on.
