Hints for Timer Recording
● If there is a power failure or this unit has been unplugged for more than 30 seconds, the clock setting and all timer 
programming will be lost.
● If a disc is not on the tray, the     indicator flashes and Timer Recording cannot be performed. In some cases, the     
indicator appears momentarily around the start point as the unit attempts to record. Please insert a recordable disc.
● When all the Timer Recording is completed, the      indicator flashes. To play or eject the recorded disc, press 
[I/
y ON/STANDBY] first, and then press [PLAY B] or [OPEN/CLOSE A].
● During the Timer Recording or timer standby (     indicator will appear on the front panel display), any operations on the 
unit will not be available. To make these operations available, cancel the Timer Recording or timer standby first (     
indicator disappears).
● To cancel the timer standby mode, press [I/
y ON/STANDBY].
● When the Start and the End time are the same, the length of the recording will be set for 24 hours. When the disc 
reaches the end during the recording, the unit turns itself off.
● When the programmed Start and End time are earlier than the current time, the setting will not be accepted and be 
cleared for redoing.
● If the Start time is earlier and the End time is later than the current time, the recording will start right after you turn the 
power off. 
■ The priority of overlapped settings
This unit records the programs according to priority if the timer programmings are overlapped. The timer 
programming set previously has priority.
A Timer Recording of lower priority will be canceled, start from the middle or stop on the way. 
Check the overlapped timer programmings and change the priority if necessary.
■ A programming set previously has priority
● When the starting time is same:
A program set previously (PROG. A) has priority.
PROG. A
PROG. B
Actual 
recording
PROG. APROG. B
The first 30 seconds (approx.) will be cut off.
● When some programming have been made at 
the end time of the programming currently 
being recorded:
A program set previously (PROG. B) has priority.
PROG. A
PROG. B
PROG. C
Actual 
recording
PROG. A PROG. B
The first 30 seconds (approx.) will be cut off.
● When the recording time is partially overlapped:
PROG. A will start after PROG. B is complete to be 
recorded.
PROG. A
PROG. B
Actual 
recording
PROG.BPROG.A
The first 30 seconds (approx.) will be cut off.
● When the recording time is entirely overlapped:
PROG.A will be recorded.
PROG. A
PROG. B
Actual 
recording
PROG. B
● When the End time of the programming 
currently being recorded and the Start time of 
the subsequent program are same:
the beginning of the PROG. B may be cut off.
PROG. A
PROG. B
Actual 
recording
PROG. A PROG. B
The first 30 seconds (approx.) will be cut off.
■ Notes for DVD recording•  When the recording time of two programs are 
overlapped, or the End time of a program and the Start 
time of another is the same, the first 30 seconds 
(approx.) of the subsequent program will be cut off.
•  If the cut-off portion comes up to one minute or more, 
this program will be displayed with error number E40 in 
the timer programming list.
