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.
