If the timer settings of a Synchro-Rec and
another timer recording overlap
Regardless of whether or not the programme is a
Synchro-Rec programme, the programme that
starts first has priority. The recorder starts
recording the second programme about ten
seconds after the first programme has finished. If
the end time of one setting and the start time of
another timer setting is the same, the beginning of
the programme that starts later will be cut.
Notes
• The recorder starts recording only after detecting the
video signal from the connected equipment. The
beginning of the programme may not be recorded
regardless of whether or not the recorder’s power is on
or off.
• To use the connected equipment during Synchro-Rec
standby, cancel the standby mode by pressing
SYNCHRO REC. To return to standby mode again, be
sure to turn off the equipment and press SYNCHRO
REC, before Synchro-Rec starts.
