Notes
To prevent recording errors:
Set a scheduled recording period slightly
longer than the actual program (to make
sure the program is recorded in full).
Be sure to perform step 5 before the
scheduled recording time. When the
unit is turned off, “” lights on the
unit’s display to indicate scheduled
recording standby has been activated.
” fl ashes when the unit cannot go to
scheduled recording standby. (e.g., a
recordable disc is not in the disc tray)
It does not fl ash if Quick Start is off.
When scheduled recordings are set
to start one immediately after another,
the unit cannot record the beginning
of the later program.
If two scheduled recording times overlap,
the recording that started fi rst always has
priority. The second recording will start
only after the fi rst recording has fi nished.
Scheduled recording cannot be
executed on both DVD and VHS
drives at the same time.
When starting time for a scheduled
recording is the same, the recording
that you programmed later has priority.
Depending on the Daylight Savings
Time (DST) settings for this unit,
scheduled recordings may be
affected when the seasons change.
Tips
Icons such as “ [RAM] ” indicate usable
discs. Refer to pages 66 and 67.
