• Timer program which has the earlier start time will be placed first in the timer program list, and be given priority over
the programs with the later start time when timer programs overlap.
• When timer programs overlap, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of the later recording will be cut off.
• When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.
• A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the middle.
• Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
The Priority of Overlapped Settings
Note for DVD recording
• When the recording time of 2 programs are overlapped, or
the end time of a program and the start time of another
program is the same, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of
the subsequent program will be cut off.
• If the cut-off portion comes up to 3 minute or more, this
program will be displayed with error number E40 in the
timer programming list.

• If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged
for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer
programming will be lost.
• If a disc is not inserted, "DVD" on the front panel display
flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. In
some cases,
will appear momentarily around the start
time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a
recordable disc.
• If a cassette tape with a erase-protection tab is not in the
cassette compartment or there is no cassette tape in the
cassette compartment, “VCR” on the front panel display
flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please
insert a recordable cassette tape.
• If a cassette tape ends during the timer recording, the unit
will automatically stop, eject the cassette tape, and turn
itself to the standby mode. To continue recording, insert a
recordable tape.
• When all the timer recordings are completed,
flashes.
Press [TIMER SET] to release the unit from the timer
standby mode.
• 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 [TIMER SET] during timer standby or stop
recording by pressing [C STOP] / [C A STOP/EJECT] on
the front panel of the unit during timer recording.
• To cancel the timer standby mode, press [TIMER SET].
• When the starting and the ending time are the same,
“Exceeds 12 hours” appears and the program setting will
not be accepted.
• When the disc or cassette tape becomes full during the
recording, the unit turns itself to the standby mode.
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later
than the current time, the recording will start right after
you press [TIMER SET] at step 9 on page 32.
• The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD and
VCR at the same time. If you set 2 programmings with the
same channel and time in both devices, the program
which is set first will have the priority.
• “Press TIMER SET for timer recording” will appear on the
TV screen 5 minutes before the programmed starting
time.
