Notes
• The disc tray does not close automatically, even when the recording start time comes. Set the recorder loaded an available
DVD-RAM/R/RW disc beforehand.
• When there are little time before a programmed recording starts, you may not be able to start another recording.
• DVD-RAM disc playback pauses when a programmed recording starts.
• Confirm the “DVD Video Compatibility” setting. “Main” or “SAP” records main sound or sub-sound of multiplex broadcasts
respectively, and does not record the other. Therefore, select “Main” or “SAP” only when you record onto a DVD-R/RW disc.
• When recording onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set “DVD Video Compatibility” ( page 130) to the desired recording sound for
each timer program.
