Notes for Cancelling the Programming of a Timer
Recording
In some cases, for example as listed below, the
programming of a timer recording remains stored in the
memory until 4 a.m. the next day. However, this is not a
malfunction.
≥
When a timer recording was not performed up to the TV
programme’s ending time because the remaining tape
time was not sufficient.
≥
When you have stopped the timer recording while it was
being performed.
