Timer Recording Troubleshooting

Even though the timer is set, the unit will not record when:

– There is no disc (or tape) loaded.

– A non-recordable disc (or tape) is loaded.

–

[Disc Protect] option is set to [ON] in the Setup menu (see page 18).

– The unit is in operating (recording, deleting etc.).

– There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R), 49 titles (DVD+R,

DVD+RW) recorded on the disc.

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.
