Timer Recording Troubleshooting
Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not
record when:
There is no disc loaded and there is not free space
on the HDD.
A non-recordable disc is loaded and there is not
free space on the HDD.
[Disc Protect] option is set to [ON] in the Setup menu
and there is not free space on the HDD. (see page 25).
Power is turned on.
There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R),
49 titles (DVD+R, DVD+RW) recorded on the disc
and there are already 255 titles recorded on the
HDD.
You cannot enter a timer program when:
A recording is already underway.
The time you’re trying to set has already passed.
There are already 16 timer programs set.
If two or more timer programs overlap:
The earlier program takes priority.
When the earlier program finishes, the later program
starts.
If two programs are set to start at exactly the same
time, the program entered first takes priority.
If the disc is damaged, the recording may not
complete successfully. In this case even though the
Check field shows “Rec. OK”, it may not be.
