when television programs are recorded using VCR Plus+.
•When you program successive scheduled recordings to start
immediately one after the other, the unit cannot record the part at
the beginning of the later programs (a few seconds when
recording with DVD-RAM and approximately 30 seconds when
recording with DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R).
•If you set DST (Daylight Saving Time) to On when manually
setting the clock (➔ page 34), scheduled recording may not work
when summer switches to winter and vice versa.
