Hints for Timer Recording
• If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer settings will be lost.
• If a recordable disc is not on the tray or an unrecordable disc is on the tray, the DVD indicator on the front panel
flashes and Timer recording cannot be performed. In some cases, the DVD indicator appears momentarily around the
Timer starting time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
• If a videotape with a record tab is not in the cassette compartment or there is no videotape in the compartment, the
VCR indicator on the front panel flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please insert a recordable videotape.
• If you press
[POWER]
and turn on the unit while either DVD or VCR is in timer standby mode, the
indicator lights off. In
this case, you cannot change the mode between DVD and VCR. You cannot change any settings using
[SETUP]
or edit discs.
• After step
11
on page 32, you can turn on the power to use the side of the unit that is free from Timer Recording (either
DVD or VCR) for another recording by pressing
[POWER]
during timer standby. During Timer Recording, press
[OUTPUT SELECT]
on the front panel, or
[DVD]
or
[VCR]
on the remote control. Note that you cannot change
channels after Timer Recording started. You can use all recording/recording pause/OTR functions. However, the unit will begin
receiving channel signals for Timer Recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time. Unless the program that you
are currently recording using the Timer Recording free side of the unit is on the same channel with the one programmed for
Timer Recording, the unit prioritizes Timer Recording and the current recording will be automatically stopped. If the chan-
nels set for Timer recording and the current recording are same, the current recording will continue without interruption.
• If both DVD and VCR are timer programmed, you cannot use any functions for either unit during timer standby or Timer
Recording. If you want to use functions other than recording under such condition, cancel Timer Recording by pressing
[T-SET]
during timer standby or stop recording by pressing
[STOP]
on the front panel during Timer Recording.
• When the starting and ending time are same, the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc reaches the end
during the recording, the unit turns itself off. If you want to continue the recording, cancel timer standby by pressing
[T-SET]
, insert a new disc, and then press
[T-SET]
again. If you are recording on a tape, the unit automatically ejects
the tape when it reaches the end. You can continue the recording by inserting a new tape.
• When the programmed starting and ending time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be cleared for redoing.
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you press
[T-SET]
.
• The Timer Recording cannot be performed in DVD and VCR at the same time. If you set two programming with the
same channel and time in both units, the program with a lower program number will be recorded.
This unit prioritizes recording as follows if the timer programmings are overlapped.
A Timer Recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way.
Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.

When the End time of the programming currently being recorded
and the Start time of the subsequent program are same:
If PROG.
1
is recorded on a DVD, the beginning of the PROG. 2 may be
cut off. The amount of time cut off differs depending on the recording media.
For example, if both PROG.
1
and PROG. 2 are recorded on DVD, the first 30
seconds (at the longest) of PROG. 2 will be cut off.
• When the recording time of two pro-
grams are overlapped, or the End time
of a program and the Start time of
another are the same, the first 30 sec-
onds (at the longest) of the subsequent
program will be cut off.
• If the cut-off portion reaches one
minute or more, this program will be
displayed with error number E40 on
the timer programming list.
