Timer Recording Troubleshooting
Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not
record when:
• There is no disc (or tape) loaded.
•Anon-recordable disc (or tape) is loaded.
• Disc Protect is set to ON in the Disc menu
(see page 24).
• There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R)
or 49 titles (DVD+RW, DVD+R) recorded on
the disc.
You cannot enter a timer program when:
•Arecording is already underway.
• The time you’re trying to set has already
passed.
• There are already 8 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 pri-
ority.
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.

Dubbing from DVD to VCR
Dubbing from DVD to VCR
You can copy the contents of a DVD to a VHS tape
using the DUBBING (or DUB) button.
1. Insert a blank VHS videotape into the VCR deck.
2. Insert the disc you wish to copy in the DVD deck
and close the disc tray.
3. Find the place on the DVD (or Disc) from which
you want to start dubbing using the PLAY, FF,
REW and PAUSE functions.
For best results, pause playback at the point from
which you want to record.
4. Press the DUBBING button on the Remote
Control or DUB on the front panel.
The Dubbing menu appears.
5. Use v / V / b / B to select the desired Record
Mode: SP or SLP (3 times SP).
6. Select [Dubbing] then press ENTER or DUBBING
to start copying.
7. To stop dubbing at any other time,
press STOP (x).
You must stop the dubbing process manually
when the DVD movie ends, or the unit may replay
and record over and over again.
Note:
If the DVD (or Discs) you are attempting to copy is
copy protected, you will not be able to copy the disc.
It is not permitted to copy Macrovision encoded
DVDs (or Discs). [Copy-protected. Cannot record.] is
displayed on the TV screen.
Tip:
If you press PAUSE during Dubbing mode, both the
DVD and VCR decks go into Pause mode and the
[DUB] indicator blinks on the front panel display.
While in Pause mode, you can adjust the DVD play-
back position using PLAY, REW, FF, PAUSE/STEP,
etc. The VCR deck will remain in Pause mode. To
resume Dubbing, press the DUBBING button twice.
