• When 2 or more timer programs have the same start time, the program set first will be given priority.
• A timer recording of lower priority will be canceled or start from the middle.

The Priority of Overlapped Settings
Note for DVD recording

the end time of a program and the start time of another
program is the same, the first 2 minutes (at the longest) of
the subsequent program will be cut off.
• If the cut-off portion comes up to 3 minute or more, this

some cases,

time as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a
recordable disc.
• If a cassette tape with a erase-protection tab is not in the
cassette compartment or there is no cassette tape in the
cassette compartment, “VCR” on the front panel display
flashes and timer recording cannot be performed. Please
insert a recordable cassette tape.
• If a cassette tape ends during the timer recording, the unit
will automatically stop, eject the cassette tape, and turn
itself to the standby mode. To continue recording, insert a
recordable tape.

• When the starting and the ending time are the same,
“Exceeds 12 hours” appears and the program setting will
not be accepted.

recording, the unit turns itself to the standby mode.
• If the starting time is earlier and the ending time is later
than the current time, the recording will start right after
you press
[TIMER SET]
at step 9 on page 32.
• The timer recording cannot be performed in DVD and
VCR at the same time. If you set 2 programmings with the
same channel and time in both devices, the program
which is set first will have the priority.
• “Press TIMER SET for timer recording” will appear on the
TV screen 5 minutes before the programmed starting
time.
