Hints for the Timer Recording
• If there is a power failure or the unit is unplugged for
more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all
timer settings will be lost.
• If a disc is not inserted or if a inserted disc is not
recordable (finalised DVD-RW/-R, finalised DVD+R,
a fully recorded disc, etc.), the unit will perform the
alternate recording to the HDD. (See page 41.)
• When a timer recording is completed, the unit will
ask you whether to turn off the unit if there is no
timer recording which starts within 4 minutes, except
under conditions listed below.
- During playback of HDD or DVD.
- While displaying menus or information on the
screen.
• The unit will be turned off automatically if you select
"Yes" or if you do not reply in 1 minute.
• When the programmed starting and ending time are
earlier than the current time, the setting will not be
accepted and be cleared for redoing.
• The audio language which is selected in the "DVB
Menu" will be recorded for the timer recording of
digital TV broadcasting.
• Timer recording whose recording time exceeds 12
hours cannot be made.
• It is prohibited to turn off the unit from 4 minutes
before the programmed starting time.
• It is prohibited to change channel from 15 seconds
before the programmed starting time.
• [REC I] does not work from 2 minutes before the
programmed starting time. If it comes to 2 minutes
before the starting time during regular or one-touch
timer recording, the recording in progress will be
stopped.
• Playback of DVD is prohibited from 2 minutes before
the programmed starting time when the recording
media is DVD. If it comes to 2 minutes before the
programmed starting time during DVD playback, the
playback will be stopped.
• When 2 or more programmes are overlapped,
"Timer program overlapped" appears, and the
overlapped programme will be displayed in blue. To
correct the timer programme refer to "Checking,
Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming
Information" on page 42.
• If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later
than the current time, the recording will start
immediately after you press [ENTER/OK] at step
on page 41.
