When you turn on this function, the recorder
starts scanning the channels before the timer

recording and the start-time of another are
the same).
• When the recordings start at the same time,
only one of them will be recorded. Cancel
the timer setting for the programme that you
are not going to record.
b Note

recordings, the start times may change in the event
