Timer Recording Troubleshooting
Even if a Timer Recording is set, the DVD
Recorder+VCR will not record if:
• No disc is loaded.
• A non-recordable disc is loaded.
• The disc is locked; see page 27.
• There are already 49 titles recorded on the
disc.
You cannot enter a Timer Recording if:
• A recording is already in progress.
• The start time has already passed.
• Eight Timer Recordings have already been
set.
If two or more Timer Recordings 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.
Confirmation is not possible when:
• The disc is locked; see page 27.
• There are already 49 titles recorded on the
disc.
NOTE: If the disc is damaged,
the recording may not complete
successfully, even if the Check
field shows “Rec. OK.”
Recording Priority
• Timer Recordings and One Touch
Recordings have the same priority but they
have lower priority than manual recording.
During manual recording, Timer Recordings
and One Touch Recordings will be ignored.

such as an analog or digital camcorder or VCR,
