Timer Recording Troubleshooting
Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not
record when:
• Power is turned on.
• There is no disc loaded and there is not free space
on the HDD.
• A non-recordable disc is loaded and there is not free
space on the HDD.
• [Disc Protect] option is set to [ON] in the Setup menu
and there is no free space on the HDD. (see
page 23).
• There are already 99 titles (DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD-R), 49 titles (DVD+RW, DVD+R) recorded on
the disc and there are already 255 titles recorded on
the HDD.
You cannot enter a timer program when:
• A recording is already underway.
• The time you’re trying to set has already passed.
• There are already 16 timer programs set.
If two or more timer programs overlap:
• The earlier program takes priority.
• When the earlier program finishes, the later program
starts.
• If two programs are set to start at exactly the same
time, the program entered first takes priority.
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not complete
successfully. In this case even though the Check field
shows “Rec. OK”, it may not be.
Note:
If a program is timer-recorded with PDC ON, “Rec. OK”
will not appear in the Check field.
