Timer Recording with VIDEO Plus+ System
This system makes programming timer recordings very
simple. Most TV guides publish the PlusCode program-
ming numbers with their program details.If you want to
make a timer recording of a program, you just input the
corresponding PlusCode programming number. The
date, start, stop and channel settings are made auto-
matically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the
recording mode and quality, and whether it’s a once-
only recording, or a regular recording.
Up to 16 timer programs can be stored in the recorder.

Timer Recording Troubleshooting
Even though the timer is set, the recorder will not
record when:
• There is no disc (or tape) loaded.
•A non-recordable disc (or tape) is loaded.
• Disc Protect is set to ON in the Setup menu (see
page 29).
•Power is turned on.
• There are already 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R) or 49
titles (DVD+RW, DVD+R) 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.
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.
