Notes on timer recording

≥"F" flashes on the unit's display for about 5 seconds when the unit
cannot go to timer recording standby. (e.g., a recordable disc is not
in the disc tray).
≥Timer recordings begin when the set time is reached even when
recording or when playing.
≥If the unit is turned on when timer recording begins, it remains
turned on after recording finishes. It does not turn off automatically.
You can turn the unit off during timer recording.
≥If the unit is not put in the timer recording standby mode at the last
10 minutes before the programmed timer recording starting time,
the "F" flashes on the unit's display. In this case, insert a
recordable disc to put the unit in the timer recording standby mode.
≥If you are making consecutive recordings that will start one after
the other, the beginning of the later programme cannot be
recorded.
e.g., Programme 1 10:00–11:00
Programme 2 11:00–12:00
11:00

Not recorded
≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap
[regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC (➡ 14) controlled], the
recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of
the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has
finished.
≥[ShowView] and [PROG/CHECK] will function even when the unit
is in standby mode.
≥You cannot eject a disc while the unit is in timer recording standby
mode.
