• If the schedule of the selected program is overlapped
with another presetting, “Overlap” appears in the Info
field. Presettigs with “Overlap” may not be partially or
entirely executed.
• When entering into the schedule table, pressing
ENTER
causes the cursor to jump to an empty field.
• Presetting becomes ineffective if the start time and
the end time are identical or if presetting operations
are performed within two minutes before the start of
the program.
• Presettings made using the EPG are automatically
shown in the schedule table.
• For presetting made using the EPG, “E” appears
beside the channel number in the schedule table. If
you alter the presetting content, “E” disappears.
• For priorities about overlapped presettings, see
“Priority rules for overlapped presettings” on page 63.
• If you switch off the system using the
POWER
button, the program presetting will become
ineffective. Be careful not to switch off the power.
Priority rules for overlapped
presettings
When preset TV programs are overlapped, the following
three rules are used to determine a higher priority. If
more than one of the three rules are met, the rules are
applied in the order; 1, 2, then 3.
Rule 1:
Presetting for recording is given a higher
priority over presetting for auto channel
select.
Rule 2:
If two presettings are overlapped, presetting
with earlier start time is given a higher
priority. If two presettings are sequential, the
last portion of the first program is not re-
corded for 15 seconds because recording of
the second program is started at the exact
start time.
Rule 3:
If presettings at the same start time are
overlapped, presetting with a smaller list
number is given a higher priority.
